Optimal PSD size for Android Apps

audirs5 · 4th Jul 2013, 07:44 AM

I am working on creating my first android app and am not sure what to set my PSD width too. I read that Google will scale the app based upon the screen size, so my thought is to start with 480 width. Any help is appreciated!

What is the PSD for?

Use this online tool.

Even though it says iPhone, it creates icons in the right size for Android apps too.

iPhone Style Icon Generator

Hope that helps.

Let me rephrase my question.

Is the PSD for the app icon or is it an image to be used in the app like a background image.

It is a logo for the header

I design with a screen size of 320 pixels wide X 480 pixels tall

Hope this helps.
