Android XXHDPI resources

According to the post linked in the G+ resource:

The gorgeous screen on the Nexus 10 falls into the XHDPI density
bucket. On tablets, Launcher uses icons from one density bucket up
[0] to render them slightly larger. To ensure that your launcher icon
(arguably your apps most important asset) is crisp you need to add a
144*144px icon in the drawable-xxhdpi or drawable-480dpi folder.

So it looks like the xxhdpi is set for 480dpi. According to that, tablets use the assets from one dpi bucket higher than the one they’re in for the launcher. The Nexus 10 being in bucket xhdpi will pull the launcher icon from the xxhdpi.

Also, was not aware that tablets take resources from the asset bucket above their level. Noted.
