Use assets folder in Android for support multiscreen devices

For support multiscreen devices android, typically using a drawable-xhdpi, drawable-hdpi, drawable-mdpi, drawable-ldpi for resources images. For using it with assets folder how to implement it? Do I need to create separate folder like assets-hdpi, assets-mdpi? Or what?

Assets folder is the folder using for stored raw data/resource such as media/audio files, text file or html ... which can be used for every screen size/density. For support multi screen you only need to develop different layout/drawable file and put them into corresponding folder as you said above and don't need to make different raw data for multi screen.

No. You can't create such folders. But you can name your files different names (this example is for fonts) e.g:

  font_for_large_screen.ttf   - for big screen
  font_for_small_screen.ttf - for small screen

and then have this strings in res -> values . As you may know, you can differentiate string values by screen sizes (and other characteristics). So, on on hdpi screen font value will be :

font_for_large_screen.ttf

on small :

font_for_small_screen.ttf

and you can grab appropriate font (or other file) from assets. Hope this will help you.
