in android, one provides four different density-specific resources.
there is a nodpi qualifier which is intended for density-independent resources.there are also screen size qualifiers, small, normal, large, extra large.
These screen size qualifiers have been deprecated beginning with Android 3.2 (HoneyComb). See best practices on Android developers site: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support...
