Is there a way to auto-resize drawables?

When I have the following drawable:

<bitmap id="LauncherIcon" filename="launcher-icon.svg" />

It's conveniently resized to the launcher icon size of the device.

I have more drawables:

<bitmap id="alert" filename="alert.svg" />

And I hope to find a developer friendly way to do kind of the same as the compiler does for the launcher icon. In other words I'd like the svg to be resized for each device to a size * and converted to png (at least for old devices that can't handle svg).

*) another question is how to know what size to resize it. For what I want now the same size as the launcher icon is is a good option. But ideally it would be something like drawable.width="10% of device.screenWidth"

Any idea how to do this (or at least part of this)?

I set up two at compile time:

    <bitmap id="xpic" filename="seal.png" automaticPalette="true" dithering="floyd_steinberg" scaleX="40%" scaleRelativeTo="screen"/>
    <bitmap id="ypic" filename="seal…

Do you mean something like this:

<bitmap id="a2xpic" filename="gear-2.png" automaticPalette="true" dithering="floyd_steinberg" scaleX="65%" scaleRelativeTo="screen"/>

If you only use one of x or y scale aspect ratio will be preserved. Or are you looking to do this at runtime?

Looks like exactly this! I prefer to do it in compile time.

I set up two at compile time:

    <bitmap id="xpic" filename="seal.png" automaticPalette="true" dithering="floyd_steinberg" scaleX="40%" scaleRelativeTo="screen"/>
    <bitmap id="ypic" filename="seal.png" automaticPalette="true" dithering="floyd_steinberg" scaleY="40%" scaleRelativeTo="screen"/>

Then I choose which one to use at runtime based on which screen dimension has fewer pixels because I want to preserve roundness but still have it fit properly.
