android picks wrong image from drawable folder

Question

My sample app has these res folders:

drawable-hdpi

drawable-ldpi

drawable-mdpi

drawable-xhdpi

drawable-xxhdpi

In each folder, I have a display.png which shows which folder is from.
I tested my app on my mi max phone which has a density of 440dpi and a resolution of 1920px-by-1080px, but Android always picks the image from the drawable-mdpi folder.

My phone density should be xhdpi, right?
Why is Android picking the image from the mdpi bucket, then?

Answer 1

Create an sample application with below code to check whether it's which density device.

density = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;

code will return below values based on your devices density .

return 0.75 if it's LDPI
return 1.0 if it's MDPI
return 1.5 if it's HDPI
return 2.0 if it's XHDPI
return 3.0 if it's XXHDPI
return 4.0 if it's XXXHDPI

I have query, how you came to know the device taking image from mdpi folder ?
