drawable和mipmap的区别

在Android studio中，同时存在drawable目录和mipmap目录，二者没有明显区别，但是工作机制还是存在差别。

谷歌官方： 
drawable/ 
For bitmap files (PNG, JPEG, or GIF), 9-Patch image files, and XML files that describe Drawable shapes or Drawable objects that contain multiple states (normal, pressed, or focused). See the Drawable resource type. 
mipmap/ 
For app launcher icons. The Android system retains the resources in this folder (and density-specific folders such as mipmap-xxxhdpi) regardless of the screen resolution of the device where your app is installed. This behavior allows launcher apps to pick the best resolution icon for your app to display on the home screen. For more information about using the mipmap folders, see Managing Launcher Icons as mipmap Resources.

 

解释： 
mipmap——用于存放原生图片（图ic_launcher.png），缩放上有性能优化; 
drawable——存放图片、xml，和Eclipse没有区别；
