Can anyone tell me which Drawable does Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 support xxhdpi or xxxhdpi? I also want to whether Nexus 6 supports large- hdpi or anything else?

I searched in google but found no luck?

Thanks.

Nexus 6 has a quantized density of 560 dpi, which falls in between the xxhdpi and xxxhdpi primary density buckets.

For the Nexus 6, the platform will scale down xxxhdpi assets, but if those aren’t available, then it will scale up xxhdpi assets.

drawable-xxxhdpi/ # Higher resolution assets for Nexus 6

The Nexus 9 is a premium 8.9” tablet with a screen size of 2048 x 1536 pixels (288 ppi), which translates to 1024 x 768 dip. This is a 4:3 aspect ratio, which is unique compared to earlier tablets. The Nexus 9 falls into the xhdpi density bucket, and you should already have assets in the drawable-xhdpi folder.
