Unfortunately after posting and creating a bounty, I found that it was already asked as Is there a way to create xxhdpi, xhdpi, hdpi, mdpi and ldpi drawables from a large scale image?

Therefore Is there a way to create xxhdpi, xhdpi, hdpi, mdpi and ldpi drawables from a large scale image? has some useful options quoted below:

Option #1: Just ship the -xxhdpi drawables and let Android downsample them for you at runtime (downside: will only work on fairly recent devices, where -xxhdpi is known).

Option #2: Automate the process within a graphics editor, per ssantos' answer.

Option #3: Script yourself a solution, using something like ImageMagick

Fast ways to import drawables in Android Studio?

This became a lot easier since Android Studio 3.4.
Simply go to the Resource Manager-tab and click the little add-button add resources to the module.

If you placed the drawables in folders with the same name like the qualifiers (drawable-mdpi, drawable-hdpi. drawable-xhdpi and so on), the tool will automatically know were to add them.

The only thing still missing in my opinion is adding the drawables to a certain flavorDimension.
