android - Setting drawable folder to use for different resolutions -


i have 4 different sizes each of icons need use in app. problem nexus 7 (1280 x 800) , galaxy s2 (800 x 480) seem use resources in drawable-hdpi. how force nexus use resources in drawable-xhdpi , 10 inch tab use drawable-xxhdpi.

i have in manifest file

<supports-screens android:resizeable="true"               android:smallscreens="true"               android:normalscreens="true"               android:largescreens="true"               android:xlargescreens="true"               android:anydensity="true" />

how force nexus use resources in drawable-xhdpi , 10 inch tab use drawable-xxhdpi?

you can't.

the qualifiers hdpi,xhdpi,xxhdpi describes screen density of device, not size of screen. official doc

screen density

the quantity of pixels within physical area of screen; referred dpi (dots per inch). example, "low" density screen has fewer pixels within given physical area, compared "normal" or "high" density screen. simplicity, android groups actual screen densities 4 generalized densities: low, medium, high, , high.

if want support tablets also, use large, xlarge qualifiers. nexus 7 large-hdpi tablet(technically it's tvdpi, takes images hdpi). if want put images nexus 7, make folder named drawable-large-hdpi , put images there.

note: special case nexus 7. because though nexus 7 7 inch tablet, has resolution of 1280 * 800. it's hdpi device. normal 7 inch devices have lower resolutions of 1024 * 600. mdpi devices. drawable qualifier can change. (from own experience, first put folder drawable-large-mdpi 7 inch devices , check on nexus 7. if there no problem images, dont have put folder. because if particular folder not present, android check nearest possible folder , optimize device screen)

now regarding 10 inch tablets case, xlarge devices , densities can change mdpi xhdpi(nexus 10). many have resolution of 1280 * 800 , mdpi devices.

the better practice put following drawables

// phones drawable-ldpi drawable-mdpi drawable-hdpi  //for 7 inch tablets drawable-large-mdpi drawable-large-hdpi(for nexus 7)  // 10 inch tablets drawable-xlarge-mdpi

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers ...
