So my apps made on a nexus and emulator will
not display as I believe they will. Rather all my images
will be smaller whilst text boxes etc will be the same
(unless I am using dip not sp).
Then drawable-large folder is for large screens with hdpi or
mdpi? And I am not sure whether photoshop's dpi setting
does anything than change the size of the image.
Clearly I need to go to school about all this because I come
from a programming background. At first site I need larger images
for larger dpi screens. Hope I can find out how much larger and
which folder to put them in.
