Android studio 2.0 Preview 3b
Hello,
I have created the following layout that I want to use for a background for my app. I am using the layer-list and I want to display a bowl of peas in 2 locations. Everything looks ok in the preview, but when I run on genymotion or some cheap Chinese devices the image stretches across the screen. However, on the Android AVD, everything looks fine and on my Nexus 5 (real device) everything works ok.
This is what I want and this is how it's displayed in the AVD and Nexus 5. As you can see there is no problem. 
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item> <shape> <gradient android:centerX="0.5" android:centerY="0.3" android:endColor="#08e25b" android:gradientRadius="300dp" android:startColor="#b7e9c9" android:type="radial" /> </shape> </item> <item android:width="48dp" android:height="48dp" android:left="350dp" android:top="400dp"> <bitmap android:src="@drawable/peas" /> </item> <item android:width="68dp" android:height="68dp" android:drawable="@drawable/peas" android:left="-20dp" android:top="480dp" /> </layer-list> I have placed peas.png file in drawable-nodpi and just add the width and height in the layer-list
And when I run on the genymotion and some cheap smart devices I get the following: 
Just quick summary. Nexus 5 real device and AVD devices works ok Genymotion and cheap smart devices doesn't display correctly
I am just confused in what I should believe. I have tried to use the bitmap as well to see if that would make any difference.
Many thanks for any suggestions.

Layer list. A LayerDrawable is a drawable object that manages an array of other drawables. Each drawable in the list is drawn in the order of the list—the last drawable in the list is drawn on top. Each drawable is represented by an <item> element inside a single <layer-list> element.
To define a LayerDrawable object, you need to add an XML file under the app/res/drawable folder. And the file name is just the drawable resource id. In this example, the app/res/drawable/my_layer_list. xml file contains a layer list definition.
One way to add Texts in your drawable layer-list is by creating a png file of the text and adding it using bitmap.
Update your layer-list as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" > <item> <shape> <gradient android:centerX="0.5" android:centerY="0.1" android:endColor="#08e25b" android:gradientRadius="300dp" android:startColor="#b7e9c9" android:type="radial" /> </shape> </item> <item android:width="48dp" android:height="48dp" android:bottom="68dp" android:right="-20dp"> <bitmap android:gravity="bottom|right" android:src="@drawable/peas" /> </item> <item android:height="68dp" android:left="-20dp" android:bottom="-20dp" android:width="68dp"> <bitmap android:gravity="bottom|left" android:src="@drawable/peas" /> </item> Place your images in all density folders (xxhdpi, xhdpi, hdpi).
The system picks image resources based on screen resolution.
