XHdpi Icons are now appearing small on devices

I’ve noticed a weird recent problem on xhdpi devices.  My launch icon is half the size it should be on some of my apps.  Yet I’ve put in the four sizes including the xhdpi icon image.  

The weird part is that this is only happening on recently updated/downloaded apps from the Play store.  I have about 4 apps on the device and all but 1 have the smaller icon.  Yet when I compare between the apps all the icon sizes are identical.  And the 1 with the larger icon was built a month after one that has a small icon (possibly ruling out an SDK problem).   

Any ideas or insights?

I have some users reporting that my app icon is very small on their Android devices too (such as Galaxy Note 3)

I have not figured out what causes this.

Have you sorted it out?

Hi guys,

Have you included an “xxhdpi” icon of size 144x144? The engineers report that this will happen if your app does not provide an “xxhdpi” icon. What happens is that the “xhdpi” icon will be used instead. which of course will look smaller on an “xxhdpi” screen.

Best regards,

Sorry I didn’t reply sooner.  I had to add the xxhdpi icon and it worked perfectly.

At the time there wasn’t much documentation of that being used (hopefully there is more now).

Yes, this has been documented for a few months at least:

Take care,

Thanks. When my app was launched, I didn’t see xxhdpi in the document.

I just added it and will publish it.
