How to import a drawable automatically in multiple dimensions in Android Studio?

Question

How could I add an image (drawable) in several dimensions at once, already creating high pixel density versions?

• hdpi
• xhdpi
• xxhdpi
• xxxhdpi

Would have some way to expedite this task?

Answer 1

There is a very valuable plugin that really helps speed up this task. It is called Android Drawable Importer.

Basically it does the same thing as Add an icon using Vector Asset in Android Studio for example, already creating support versions for large screen devices, for example: xxhdpi or 2k.

Installation

To do the installation, search for Android Drawable Importer in the plugins section, in Android Studio preferences.
