Does Google Maps Android MapView use different resolution tiles for different screen densities?

Issue

I am trying to overlay my own custom images on top of a MapView in Android. It is important that my images align correctly with the underlying Google Maps tiles, because it is a map of a university campus whose features must align with Google's underlying tile features. Are the tiles Google provides for a given geographic rectangle always the same size (in pixels), regardless of display density, or does Google transmit tiles of higher or lower resolution for higher/lower display density devices?

I know in the static maps Javascript API there is a scale parameter that can be parsed to have higher resolution tiles returned. I am just curious as to whether the Android MapView is also capable of returning higher/lower resolution tiles. In the event MapView does return tiles at varying resolutions, is there anyway to programatically find what this resolution is, so I can scale my own overlaid imagery accordingly?

Solution

Though this was never technically answered, I believe it may have been rendered irrelevant by the far more feature complete v2 version of the Google Maps API for Android.
