I want to set an icon for my application, and don't know the exact resolution to put in the three folders hdpi/ldpi/mdpi . Also i want to set icons to my menu options and don't know what resolution to apply.
Thank you for your help.
Base density for Android is mdpi. All other densities are its appropriate ratios, which is as follows: 0.75x — low-density (ldpi) 1.0x — medium-density (mdpi) 1.5x — high-density (hdpi)
For example, if you have a bitmap drawable that's 48x48 pixels for medium-density screen (the size for a launcher icon), all the different sizes should be: 36x36 for low-density (LDPI) 48x48 for medium-density (MDPI) 72x72 for high-density (HDPI)
Option #1: Just ship the -xxhdpi drawables and let Android downsample them for you at runtime (downside: will only work on fairly recent devices, where -xxhdpi is known). Option #2: Use Android Asset Studio to downsample them for you. Option #3: Automate the process within a graphics editor, per ssantos' answer.
Launcher icons
48 × 48 (mdpi)
72 × 72 (hdpi)
96 × 96 (xhdpi)
144 × 144 (xxhdpi)
192 × 192 (xxxhdpi)
512 × 512 (Google Play store).png
Action bar, Dialog & Tab icons
24 × 24 area in 32 × 32 (mdpi)
36 × 36 area in 48 × 48 (hdpi)
48 × 48 area in 64 × 64 (xhdpi)
72 × 72 area in 96 × 96 (xxhdpi)
96 × 96 area in 128 × 128 (xxxhdpi)
.png These icons are used in the action bar menu. The first number is the size of the icon area, and the second is file size.
Notification icons
22 × 22 area in 24 × 24 (mdpi)
33 × 33 area in 36 × 36 (hdpi)
44 × 44 area in 48 × 48 (xhdpi)
66 × 66 area in 72 × 72 (xxhdpi)
88 × 88 area in 96 × 96 (xxxhdpi)

Small Contextual Icons
16 × 16 (mdpi)
24 × 24 (hdpi)
32 × 32 (xhdpi)
48 × 48 (xxhdpi)
64 × 64 (xxxhdpi)
.png Small icons are used to surface actions and/or provide status for specific items. For example, in the Gmail app, each message has a star icon that marks the message as important.
