I want Perfect Splash Screen Size for Smart Phones and Tables.

Right now, I have sizes as per below :

  • xlarge (xhdpi): 640x960
  • large (hdpi): 480x800
  • medium (mdpi): 320x480

  • small (ldpi): 240x320

    From Supporting Multiple Screens

  • xlarge screens are at least 960dp x 720dp

  • large screens are at least 640dp x 480dp
  • normal screens are at least 470dp x 320dp
  • small screens are at least 426dp x 320dp

First of all, the question is vaguely worded. What do you mean by splash screen size? Since you will be loading splash for full screen, what does pixels for screen mean? I am going on the assumption that this was asked for Image pixels for different Screen sizes and provide the answer.

I find image size for Perfect Splash screen size to be relative too as it also depends on the method used for the Splash Screen. Since the image you use can be set according to the size of the screen programmatically if it is required to fill exactly up to some percent of the screen without pixels having much of effect in that if you keep adequate pixelled image (if the splash screen is loaded as an activity for a specified amount of time from your MainAtivity). Now, if you are following the drawable method for creating splash screen using theme for calling it (like in Splash Screens the Right Way article), well then the Pixels of the image really matters as the size of the image will be determined by the different pixels used for images for different screen sizes. The answer to that is provided exactly in the android splash screen sizes for ldpi,mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi displays post.

For lazier developers like myself :P, I will provide the values below for minimum screen sizes (all in pixels), which are provided by Google (the statistics on the relative sizes of devices on Google's dashboard).

Android Mobile Devices :

LDPI- 426x320

MDPI- 470x320

HDPI- 640x480

XHDPI- 960x720

Android Tablet Devices :

LDPI- 200x320

MDPI- 320x480

HDPI- 480x800

XHDPI- 720px1280px

And ofcourse, the use of 9 Patch images are always recommended for stretchable images.
