-<p>Other points to consider: </p>
+<p>Your app should supply a version of each icon and bitmap asset that's optimized
+for <strong>at least one</strong> the following common tablet screen densities:</p>
 
 <ul>
-<li>Icons in the action bar, notifications, and launcher should be designed
-according to the icon design guidelines and have the same physical size on
-tablets as on phones.</li>
-<li>Use density-specific <a

+  <li><code>xhdpi</code></li>
+  <li><code>xxhdpi</code></li>
 </ul>
 
-<p style="margin-bottom:.5em;">At a minimum, your app should supply sets of
-  custom drawables and assets for common tablet screen densities,
-  tagged with these qualifiers as appropriate:</p>
+<p>Other tips:</p>
 
 <ul>
-  <li><code>hdpi</code>, OR</li>
-  <li><code>xhdpi</code>, OR</li>
-  <li><code>xxhdpi</code></li>
+<li>When possible, use vector shapes for your icon designs so you can scale them
+without loss of detail and edge crispness.</li>
+<li>Use density-specific <a
+href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/resources/providing-resources.html#AlternativeResources">
+resource qualifiers</a> to ensure that the proper icons are loaded for each screen density.</li>
+<li>Tablets and other large screen devices often request a launcher icon that is one density
+size larger than the device's actual density, so you should provide your launcher
+icon at the highest density possible. For example, if a tablet has an {@code xhdpi} screen,
+it will request the {@code xxhdpi} version of the launcher icon.</li>
