The Nexus 7 is that TVDPI, but that is not used in programming apps for it. Eclipse uses the HDPI, LDPI, MDPI, XHDPI, and XXHDPI folders. After my research, I still have found no solid conclusion.

Four different sources, four different answers:

1.33 x MDPI

HDPI

XHDPI

No direct answer

So my question:

Does anyone really know which density (HDPI/LDPI/MDPI/XHDPI/XXHDPI) the Nexus 7 uses?

It certainly can be. You are welcome to use -tvdpi resource set qualifiers, as is covered in the documentation.

No, it uses -ldpi, -mdpi, -tvdpi, -hdpi, -xhdpi, and -xxhdpi resource set qualifiers, as is covered in the documentation.

Keep in mind this is for the Nexus 7 ( 2012 ). The more recent Nexus 7 ( 2013 ) resolution is 1200 x 1920, with a density of 320dpi(2.0x)
