I've reviewed all of the android design documentation, but I am still a little confused on how I should setup my photoshop file if I am making an app for just the Kindle Fire.

It's 1024x600 with 160 dpi. Should my new photoshop fle mirror the resolution and dpi of the device?

Thank you!

Answer 1

The exact pixel resolution (1024x600) is all you need to worry about; the DPI of your Photoshop file won't affect your output at all. That only affects your physical output size if you're measuring it in a dimension such as inches, mm, etc. (Like if you're printing it out, a 1024 x 600 pixel image set to 160 DPI would print by default at 6.4" -- 1024/160 -- by 3.75" -- 600/160).
