Where to put bitmaps for Nexus7?

Question

Specs for Nexus7 is 7-inch screen, 1280 x 800 resolution and 216 pixels-per-inch. I made drawable-xlarge-hdpi folder and put image in that folder. But when I check bitmap size, I get smaller size than actual size. What is wrong? I tried drawable-large-hdpi, but the result is the same.

image = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(res, R.drawable.image);
int width = image.getWidth(); // this returns smaller than actual size.

I will also go with `drawble-large-hdpi`. Can you just cross check with `sw smallest width` concept, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12242111/application-skeleton-to-support-multiple-screen/12258061#12258061 — Mohammed Azharuddin Shaikh, Nov 12 '12 at 08:58
@hotveryspicy where ever you put images nexus 7 TVDPI(1.33) will auto scale your image. except in res/drawable-tvdpi/my_icon.png # Bitmap for tv density — Padma Kumar, Nov 12 '12 at 09:01
@PadmaKumar thats why I have mentioned to go with `-sw600dp` — Mohammed Azharuddin Shaikh, Nov 12 '12 at 09:05

This is from a blogpost title: Getting Your App Ready for Jelly Bean and Nexus 7

As developers we see this as around 600 * 960 density independent pixels and a density of tvdpi.

The post in the same line also asks you not to rush and create new Assets for this density.

This fact is again outlined by Dianne Hackborn (she works at Google) here: https://plus.google.com/105051985738280261832/posts/6eWwQvFGLV8

If you look at the Google IO 2012 source code, it also suggests (I may have, of course, missed the obvious) that no special assets were created for the Nexus 7 and yet, it looks and works great on it. If you go through both the links, you will find a couple of tips on making sure your hdpi Assets will look good on the Nexus 7 too.
