Only use XHDPI drawables in Android app?

Question

If you\'re planning to support LDPI, MDPI, HPDI, and perhaps XHDPI in the near future, is it ok to only include XHDPI drawables in the project and let the devices scale them

Answer 1

XHDPI was only introduced in Android SDK API Level 9 (Gingerbread) (see http://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/DisplayMetrics.html#DENSITY_XHIGH) so if you plan to have a minimum SDK level of less than 9 you will also need to provide, at least, HDPI drawables as well otherwise devices with Froyo or below will display nothing.

Update: It actually seems like versions prior to Gingerbread will display xhdpi images: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/android-developers/yjYO91OmoJ4/v3he0ZbKo-UJ
