title: What Is The Difference Between -anydpi And -nodpi?
body: <p>If you use the Vector Asset wizard in Android Studio 1.5.0, any vector drawable XML you import using that wizard goes into <code>res/drawable/</code>.</p>
  
  <p>However, the <code>build/</code> directory, and the resulting APK show that those XML files get moved into a <code>res/drawable-anydpi-v21/</code> resource directory. The <code>-v21</code> part makes sense, as <code>VectorDrawable</code> is only supported on API Level 21+. However, <code>-anydpi</code> seems to be undocumented. I would have expected <code>-nodpi</code>, both for the original import destination and for where the build system elects to move it.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone seen official statements for what <code>-anydpi</code> means, and what its relationship is with <code>-nodpi</code>? I am looking for practical effects, not merely what some code comments hint at.</p>
