[android-developers] Re: Live wallpaper thumbnail 208x192?

It's 208x192 on the Xoom. Not square. Other people have noticed this

Adding an xhdpi drawable doesn't make any difference since the Xoom is
an mdpi device. However, I can add a 208x192 drawable to drawable-
xlarge to make the thumbnail appear on the Xoom without messing up the
thumbnail on mdpi phones.
