I have an image that is 120x120px located in my /res/drawable/ directory. This is the size required for all devices. To load this Bitmap, I am using the following: Bitmap tmpBmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.myimage); The issue is that when I measure tmpBmp , the size is 360x360px. I know how to scale this back down to the 120x120 that I need, but it is a waste of processing time, although minimal. I am assuming that this has something to do with screen densities, since my resource is in a density-less directory. What is the reason for decodeResource scaling my

...and if so, how? We make a dedicated Android device for use in an industrial environment. It's basically a tablet, but with only one app running. The user is not expected to access any other features of the device and even the system settings, like WiFi and Time settings are performed through our app instead of through the Android Settings widget. So basically every button and message they see uses our strings.xml file . Currently all of our customers are satisfied to use the default US-English settings but we will soon have some customers who want local languages and have supplied us with

I use plurals to compile a quantity string for an Android application. I follow exactly what one can find in the tutorials: res.getQuantityString( R.plurals.number_of_comments, commentsCount, commentsCount); Here is the definition of the plurals: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <plurals name="number_of_comments"> <item quantity="zero">No comments</item> <item quantity="one">One comment</item> <item quantity="other">%d comments</item> </plurals> </resources> Interesting enough, the output string is odd to what I definied: commentsCount = 0 => "0 comments" commentsCount = 1 =>

I've been playing around with SVG support in Android and came up with this library which claims that it supports SVG just as it they were native. Since I took great pains in discovering that this is not really possible, I went to see how this dude actually managed it. So I came upon his Resources derivative in which he declares a method ( loadDrawable ) that has default visibility in base Resources class. The funny thing is, normally lint would just report that you can't write this method since it would hide base method, but in this particular case (note the absense of @Override directive )

Use Case: Logging error messages as displayed to the user. However you don't want to have messages in your log that depend on the locale of the user's device. On the other hand you don't want to change the locale of the user's device just for your (technical) logging. Can this be achieved? I found a couple of potential solutions here on stackoverflow: how to get string from different locales in Android? Can I access to resources from different locale android? android - Get string from default locale using string in specific locale maybe even android - Changing Locale within the app itself
