What size should i take? What is asset type in that tool it giving only 3 option ie icon, action and tab, notification which one to be take?
Just copy the image:
and paste it into drawable:
You can also drag and drop.
Now, for different sizes, just make a folder with the appropriate names. Go into project view first:
Then, see these little folders in the res?
Place each image into each folder. Here are the different size directories:
drawable-mdpi for medium-density
drawable-hdpi for high-density
drawable-xhdpi for extra-high-density
drawable-xxhdpi for extra-extra-high-density
Thats it.
If this helped, make sure to accept it by pushing the checkmark. If you have more questions, feel free to ask, I am happy to help!
Edit to question:
320dp: a typical phone screen (240x320 ldpi, 320x480 mdpi, 480x800 hdpi, etc).
480dp: a tweener tablet like the Streak (480x800 mdpi).
600dp: a 7” tablet (600x1024 mdpi).
720dp: a 10” tablet (720x1280 mdpi, 800x1280 mdpi, etc).
You can directly Add your images in drawable folder
OR
If you have requirement for multi size images then use drawable size categories like.
drawable-mdpi for medium-density
drawable-hdpi for high-density
drawable-xhdpi for extra-high-density
drawable-xxhdpi for extra-extra-high-density
