Hi Ned,

There is no quick answer to that question. Hope the following explanation sheds some light and helps you decide how to approach your Android splash screen.

In Icenium, the Android splash screen file is placed in the App_Resources/Android/drawable-nodpi folder (not exposed in the Project Navigator in Icenium Graphite and Mist). This means that your app uses only one image for all screen densities without prescaling it. This might lead to your image being cut off or appearing too small, based on the device screen. Based on your target devices, pick the DPI that would best fit your needs and upload it to Icenium. In most cases, this would probably be the HDPI one (as it's around the middle of the scale).

Alternatively, you can create images for all 4 dpis and add them to your project using this workaround. This will ensure that your splash screen will appear as you designed it to appear on all screen sizes.
