Apps Basic image resolution questions

[mukulabdagiri]

Hi,

I am new to Android development and in general mobile phone app development. I am trying to make an app which uses jpeg images as background. What should my image resolution be for it to be full screen? (eg. 1920x1080, 1280x720, 640x480, etc) Is it device specific?

I read about the resources and how you can place resources in 'drawable' folders and then Android selects the best match. But does it adjust the resolution when you change orientation at run time (tilt device)? Is there a setting in the manifest file for this? I set android:screenOrientation="landscape" in the activity. Also does it crop the image if it is too large or adjusts it to fit on the screen?

Kindly help.

Thanks,
Mukul
