A resourceful talk about Android Resources
summary
Shows that the Android runtime fails to downscale cleanly from high-density bitmaps, so supplying tailored mdpi/hdpi/xxhdpi assets preserves crisp icons and avoids CPU cost; recommends WebP for JPG/PNG to save ~26–34% space; explains APK splits and App Bundle delivery that prevent shipping all densities; clarifies anydpi vs nodpi vs mipmap selection and how mipmap affects downscaling and splitting; demos Android Studio Resource Manager with batch import and SVG→vector drawable conversion, which actually creates the folders and previews.
