ldpi or hdpi

Probably a dumb question, but i was fiddling around with the skins on Smart Keyboard (trial version) before considering to purchase it for my tablet (Asus Transformer TF300T, which has a horrible standard keyboard layout) and wondered what parameter makes the choice between drawable and drawable-hdpi?
Is this a setting i overlooked in the menu, a limitation of the trial version or is this perhaps an automatic setting depending on the screen resolution?
Because my tablet only uses the low resolution instead of the hdpi.
(I tried searching for it, but hdpi gave a little too much results)

Thanks in advance,
Kanah

It has to do with display density. Your tablet has an HD display but uses the ldpi layout because the density is 160ppi or something like that. My Galaxy S, for example, has less pixels in the display but uses the hdpi layout because it is 233ppi. Does that clear some things up?

Yes it does, makes sense now.
Thank you for your reply.
