Solution

  • Depends on the purpose of your image in your app.

    If it is meant to be stretched (Like buttons and layouts' backgrounds), then NinePatchDrawable is the solution. To convert your .png to a 9-patch, follow these steps.

    If your image is an icon image (like Launcher, Action Bar, Menu and Notification icons), then you should use different .png's for different sizes. You can generate those different sizes manually (by using Photoshop or whatever tool you use to adjust the proper size) or you can use these tools to generate them automatically.
