    <p>I have recently coded an application and included a DrawerLayout with the <a href="http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/navigation-drawer.html" rel="nofollow">Navigation Drawer</a> pattern. This application must support ldpi/small devices and android version 2.1+ for market share reasons.</p> <p>One user made an observation about the Drawer Menu icon looking 'cut' and the app being hard to navigate because of this. I guess this is expected, considering that all mayor apps (Twitter, Instagram, Gmail, etc) haven't updated the app for this kind of devices. Though, they are using this pattern for newer/bigger devices/platforms.</p> <p>Considering that the DrawerLayout has been included in the support library, i would expect apps to start backporting it to 2.X sooner or later. Maybe big players haven't done it because <strike>Google officially deprecated LDPI</strike> ldpi/small devices are rare nowadays and <a href="https://code.google.com/p/android-ui-utils/issues/detail?id=175" rel="nofollow">even unsupported for some community tools</a>, but what would be the right thing to do in order for the app to be successful in this matter? Is there any guideline to follow on this topic? If you have to support ldpi/small and 2.X, would you go with a drawer navigation menu? why?</p> <p>Thanks for your comments.</p> <p>[Edit]</p> <p>Went too far, for some reasons i thought Google actually deprecated LDPI/small, but it was just some community tools/libs that i've seen around that actually did it. Even the ADT template doesn't generate the drawables for LDPI/small. </p>

    2. COYes, i did. I have actually tested myself on an ldpi device and it looks good. But i guess the question is more oriented to whether the patter is known and used in older devices/platforms, and whether we should expect those users to know how to use it. Thanks!

    3. CO"Even the ADT template doesn't generate the drawables for LDPI" -- that's because, in many cases, downsampling `-mdpi` drawables gives adequate results. You will notice that ADT does not generate `-tvdpi` drawables either, despite that being the density used by the 1st generation Nexus 7. That's because downsampling `-hdpi` drawables to `-tvdpi` is frequently sufficient.
