How to prevent a drawable from becoming blurry?

Question

When i copy-paste an image to the drawable file, i get one image with the original resolution. When i use the New--ImageAset way i get a lot of images for different screen densities but they are all blurry, even xxhdpi! How can i have the different densities inages without this problem? Im surprise i didnt noticed it before!

I read this but it hasnt helped me Android ImageView blurry? http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html

Any advice am i doing it wrong?

EDIT

I tried the AndroidAssetStudio but it still happens

Before enter image description here

After (xxhdpi) enter image description here

Cant i get it to be the ldpi and then make it scale up from it or something?

You can create your image in different resolutions using Android Assets Studio. Then, copy paste the image to the respective folder. This will give you a proper image, without blur.

Is there a way of doing it in android? Or does people always do it outside? – qera hile Feb 13 '15 at 19:51
There's an open question about this issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28503229/fast-ways-to-import-drawables-in-android-studio. Personally, I always copy/paste the image as I suggested in my answer. This is redundant work, and Android Studio needs to make this process more effective. @qerahile – Marcus Feb 13 '15 at 19:52
But short answer is No, there is no way. @qerahile – Marcus Feb 13 '15 at 19:54

There is a plugin exactly made for the same purpose. You can use that plugin to make different sizes of the same image. You have to copy/paste a single image in drawable folder. Then right click drawable folder and select NEW>Batch_Drawable_Import. Select the size for your image and it will itself make the other sized images for you.
