I understand the difference between different screen densities (dpi) and dip. While developing an app for android TV, which screen densities should I support? In other words how many versions of the assets do we need to create. Do I need all (mdpi / hdpi / xhpi / xxhdpi / xxxhdpi) Or only the subset for Android TV?

    Well, it always depends on you in which dpi you will use. Another way of determining the correct dpi is based on the screen size that you are using. Check this [documentation](https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html) to know more about on how to support multiple screens in android. For more information, check this [SO question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27978791/which-resource-qualifier-should-i-use-to-support-1080p-720p-android-tv-andro). – KENdi Dec 19 '16 at 07:57

In general, xhdpi should work for any TV, but you also can use the television qualifier to create assets solely for TVs.

  • According to Android documention: "Your TV layout should target a screen size of 1920 x 1080 pixels [standard 1080p/HD], and then allow the Android system to downscale your layout elements to 720p if necessary." So xhdpi is a good solution. – Vpd Dec 27 '16 at 20:10
