[mono-android] upper limit on resources/drawable size?

[Wally McClure]

Andreas,

Thanks an excellent point.  I was fixated on the 50KB part and not thinking about it being unrolled in memory and having to work with the actual bits.  That makes perfect sense.  I was working last night on an image that was fairly large.  I found that making it smaller helped until it finally loaded.  I found googling some mentions to 300 KB files being the upper limit for display but was looking to verify that and not take it on faith.  Your explanation is much more plausible.
