Hi,
ok with all the newer devices out there I am wondering if a Pro can give an opinion for android developers.
I currently own a HTC One X with a screen res of 1280 x 720, what would be the best res to work with for backgrounds/images etc ?
I know down-scaling uses a lot more cpu power than upscaling, should I stick with 800 x 480 ? these seem to be the commonest sizes i.e.desire etc
suggestions thoughts much appreciated [import]uid: 127675 topic_id: 29865 reply_id: 329865[/import]
I think the issue is memory, not CPU - that is, if you use big images and they are reduced for lower-res devices, the texture memory is higher than if you did it the other way.
I found it MUCH easier to work with higher res as default and have it downscale automatically for lower-res devices. [import]uid: 160496 topic_id: 29865 reply_id: 119771[/import]
