What do you use to create drawable resources? (Best practice)

Issue

I have a number of PNG images which I convert to different resolutions using a bash script that I wrote.

The input is an image and output is a number of scaled images with resolutions that match: drawable-xhdpi, drawable-hdpi, drawable-mdpi, drawable-ldpi.

Is there a better way of scaling icons and PNG images? What do you use? Should I be using SVG images instead?

Solution

For some of your drawable resources, you may want to use 9-patch images. Ex: If u are setting a custom background for a button. This link explains briefly what 9 patch images are and how to create them. Simple 9patch images guide
