Android Basics – Learn how to use Images in your App

If you want to use images in your Android App you will need to put them in the drawable folder under the res directory.

Like on my System the path is   /HelloAndroid/app/src/main/res/drawable

Android also gives you the option to put images for different screen densities.

For this you can create the following folders under drawable.

  • android-ldpi : Low Density Screens around 120dpi
  • android-mdpi : Medium – 160dpi
  • android-hdpi : High Density – 240dpi
  • android-xhdpi
  • android-xxhdpi
  • android-xxxhdpi
