How can I configure my Android + Phonegap App to scale images automatically accordingly with the phone's resolution?

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

This is not helping at all. I have got 100 px X 100 px.jpg pictures and they are way too small in Nexus 7 but ok in some other device. Is it possible to configure app so that pictures are always sized based on device?

I am using Phonegap/Cordova and my pictures are in assets/www/images-folder. I read from developer.android-page that it should scale pictures if they are jpg, png or bmp-formats.

Thanks for helping! Sami

Android will only scale resources that are stored in the /res folder. It will not scale or otherwise choose among alternative resources for anything stored in /assets. If you put the images in /res/drawable, then they will scale automatically with pixel density. However, it sounds like you want to have larger images for large-screen devices like the Nexus 7. In that case, put the larger version of the image in /res/drawable-large.

See the docs on providing alternative resources for a complete explanation of resource qualifiers you can use.
