Why is my launcher icon smaller when placed on the Android desktop?

Question

I have an application built for 1.5 and I am adding higher resolution drawables to support hdpi devices in 1.6 and above.

My original application icon is 48x48. I created a second launcher icon that is 72x72 and placed it in a res/drawable-hdpi/ directory.

When I install the application on my Nexus One the icon looks good when I view it in the application menu. But when I place it on the desktop it appears small relative to other icons, my guess is I'm seeing the 48x48 version with no scaling.

These are my two resource directories:

res/drawable/appicon.png res/drawable-hdpi/appicon.png

Do I need to do something differently either with my directory structure or my manifest file to get things to display correctly?

Thanks!

Answer 1

I uninstalled the application completely, then reinstalled it. That solved the issue.
