NOTE: You have to put the images with the same name.

Answer 3

The easiest way I have found to have the proper "directory" structure appear under the drawable folder for my icons is this:

1. Right click "Drawable"
2. Click on "New", then "Image Asset"
3. Change "Asset Type" to "Action Bar and Tab Icons"
4. For "Foreground" choose "ClipArt"
5. For "Clipart" click and "Choose" button and pick any icon
6. For "Resource Name" type in you icon file name

Now the pseudo-directories have been created for you under the Drawable folder in the Android view. Open up the true directories on your file system "main/res/drawable-xxhdpi", "main/res/drawable-xhdpi" and replace the icons in each folder with your own of the proper density.
