android image screen drawable resolution

I'm a bit confused as to what resolutions I should be saving my images in for the different drawable folders. Is there a general formula for it? For example,if I want an image to take up 10% of the height and the full width of the screen, roughly how would I calculate what different resolutions I should save the image in?

This is android's guidelines for icons. Obviously not all drawables are icons, but maybe this helps you get started.

  • 36x36 for low-density
  • 48x48 for medium-density
  • 72x72 for high-density
  • 96x96 for extra high-density
