I am creating an Application which will run on all Android Devices. I want to create xhdpi Graphics for My App. My App is full screen. I am confused in Creating graphics. can any one tell me the best sizes of my background image in pixels.

For Example:

  • xhdpi: 720x1280 px
  • hdpi: 480x800 px
  • mdpi: 320x480 px
  • ldpi: 240x320 px

Suggest me the best sizes which will appear on all devices good. Because my graphics are the core of my app.

I want that every device get the best image which it want. Android will be not involved in compressing or expanding of image.
