Android :: Screen Resolution For Layout Directory

Jan 13, 2010

I am writing layout file for Droid Milestone. I set the directory to layout-854x480, but it doesn't work at all.

I then use:

CODE:............

To print the screen size and then get 569x320. I then change the layout directory name to layout-569x320. Then the layout file works. I have a G2 and know it's 480x320. And I see the MS screen contain more pixel in wide direction. I am using SDK 1.6, eclipse+adt

Android :: Using TargetSdkVersion? Should Support Full Resolution And Not Emulate A Lower Resolution Screen

Jun 26, 2010

I have a program that should work on Android 1.5, but when it's run on newer devices with higher resolution screens, it should support the full resolution and not emulate a lower resolution screen. As far as I can tell from the documentation, this should be simple.

I just specify

code:.........

The problem is that if I tell Eclipse to compile for 1.5, it refuses to accept this. It reports an error (targetSdkVersion is an unknown tag) and refuses to compile or run. If I tell it to compile for 1.6 it works fine, of course. But if I then try to install on a 1.5 AVD, the program immediately crashes with a java.lang.VerifyError. I'm clearly missing something simple. How do I get it to compile an apk that works under 1.5, but still includes the targetSdkVersion tag?

Android :: Build Resolution Independent Layout Xml?

Mar 5, 2009

I am working on a screen that needs to look fine at HVGA-L resolution as well as 640x480 resolution. Lets say I have a button that is 200 pixels wide and 50 pixels high on HVGA-L skin. When the same layout xml is shown at 640x480 skin, I want my button size increase proportionately. The hardware the app runs on supports both the resolutions.

None of the units that the android framework provides seems to have this facility. If I use px, then the button size will stay same. dip doesn't matter because it is the same hardware. sp is meant for fonts, not for button width/heights.

Android :: Layout For Multiple Screens / Emulators With Same Resolution But Different Density

Nov 11, 2010

I am trying to develop an application for which I want multiple screen support. I have read the Android article on Best practices for Multiple Screen Support. As per the article we have to follow 3 important things

1. Mention support for different screen sizes(large, medium and small) and any density in AndroidManifest.xml.
2. Place images of 3 dpi's (120, 160, 240) in 3 folders res/ldpi, res/mdpi and res/hdpi.
3. In layout's the dimension should be mentioned in "dip" units. Then Android will take care of the scaling on its own.

I have implemented all these points in my project. The images are picked up correctly from the appropriate folders. But the arrangements of the controls in not same.
e.g. I ran the app on three emulators
1. Resolution 240*320 dpi 120.
2. Resolution 240*320 dpi 160.
3. Resolution 240*320 dpi 240.
(All the emulator have same resolution but different density.)

The problem is the position of the controls is not same on all the three emulator. As per my understanding if the android:layout_marginLeft and android:layout_marginTop are mentioned in "dip" then this problem should not occur. As the density of the emulator increases the controls get placed more towards the right. Is it absolutely necessary that I provide layouts for all combination's of screen dimension and density even if the layout is same for all the devices?

Android : Get Resolution - Programmatically Set Layout Folder / Supporting Multiple Screens

Aug 19, 2010

My application will have two layouts, one for large screens and one for normal. For testing I'm working with one phone (800x480 240dpi) and one tablet (1024x600 240dpi) but both are detected as large screen hdpi and long aspect ratio, so I'm not able to assign different layouts.

The only approach I think that can work is to create layout-large and layout-normal, get the resolution and programmatically set the layout folder. Is that possible?

Android :: Layout Alignment - Divide Screen Into Three Layout As Header - Body And Footer

May 4, 2010

I am new in android, i am having few problem in layout alignment. I have divide the screen into three layout,as header, body and footer. I am giving the height dynamically for the three layout in java file, so i need to give 12% of height to header and footer layout, and the remaining 75% i need to assign height to body layout.

WindowManager w = getWindowManager(); Display d = w.getDefaultDisplay(); int totalwidth_screen = d.getWidth(); int totalheight_screen = d.getHeight();..................

Android :: Mkdirs Returns False For Directory On Sd Card While The Parent Directory Is Writable

Oct 31, 2010

At some points while running my android application, I need to create a directory on the sd card, for a small number of users this fails and I can't figure out the reason for it... (I've found similar problems caused by the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission missing, it's there and it works for almost all users so I don't think this is reason) When mkdirs returns false I crash the program and log the following java.io.File properties, starting at the directory I want to create, then recursive printing properties of the parent directory and so on...

/sdcard/MyDirectory/Dir1/Dir2 (exists: false, canWrite: false, isDirectory: false, isFile: false);
/sdcard/MyDirectory/Dir1 (exists: true, canWrite: true, isDirectory: true, isFile: false);
/sdcard/MyDirectory (exists: true, canWrite: true, isDirectory: true, isFile: false);
/sdcard (exists: true, canWrite: true, isDirectory: true, isFile: false);
/ (exists: true, canWrite: false, isDirectory: true, isFile: false);

The strange thing is that the parent directory is writable (canWrite=true), I can't print the execute file permission but from what I've read, write is what you need when creating directories... What I've looked at so far is the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission, if the sd card is full and if the sdcard is mounted read only:...........................

Android :: Set Screen Resolution

Jan 12, 2010

I'm trying to alter the default screen resolution of the Android emulator (and by extension, the Android device) to work at 1700x1200. In other words, I need the screen to be able to display unique points over that range. I have set the dimensions in my layout file, yet the device still defaults to 320x480. I've set different dpi densities, but to no avail.

Android :: Why Doesn't Droid Directory Match To Computer Directory

Dec 23, 2009

I have an app that instructed me to copy some data from my computer to the SDCard. So I plugged the Droid into the computer, mounted my Droid SDCard, looked at the directory, and copied the file. There are a bunch of files and folders listed (e.g. backups for apps, album artwork, etc.) as being on the SDCard. But when I go into Astro on the Droid and select "SDCARD" it shows "directory is empty." I don't get it. Why can't I see the folders and files on the SDCard that I can see on the computer screen?

Android :: Define A Screen Resolution

Dec 12, 2009

With Android, you can define different resources for different phone attribute by naming res directories appropriately. I need to be able to support different layouts for 480x800 and 480x854. I figured I could have one set of resources stored in the layout-hdpi-v4 directory and another in layout-long-hdpi-v4. However, both resolution seem to think that they are long (at least based on the emulator, which I understand may not reflect devices accurately). Is there another way in which I can distinguish between the two resolutions/aspect ratios?

Android :: Imageview In Center In All Screen Resolution

Sep 27, 2010

I am developing Android Application using SDK 1.5 and testing application on HTC Hero, its firmware is Android 1.5.

Let me come to actual point: in application, i am having an imageview for displaying image (Image resolution is 320*480), now imageview is displaying image in full-screen perfectly, but when i am trying to test it on HTC EVO 4G (having resolution 480*800), image gets stretch.

So, what i like to do is want to display 320*480 resolution image in all screen-resolution mobile ? i means to say,if the mobile is of higher resolution(i.e. 480*800 , 480*854, or else) than the image should be displayed in "Center" portion of the screen.

So displaying image in Center in all screen (without stretching or cutting) resolution other than 320*480, what attributes i have to set ?

General :: Android - How To Make App For Different Screen Resolution

Nov 2, 2012

I am new to android, how to create an app for different resolution i am trying to develop an android app using imageview and textview. I am using the standard AVD (800) for testing. Now all the images seem dis-arrayed when i use it for other resolutions. I am wondering if the solution is through coding wherein my design will adjust itself to the screen size automatically?

Secondly, when i use the auto-rotate feature, again all image placings get dis-arrayed. I am also looking for solution that will allow my images to maintain the placings when rotated.

Android :: Get Screen Resolution / Pixels As Integer Values

May 25, 2010

How can I quickly access the screen resolution (width, height) as integer values? I've tried this one, but it always shows zero on my emulator:

DisplayMetrics dm = new DisplayMetrics();
int width = dm.widthPixels / 2;

In my case I want to dynamically create a table with tableRows, each containing two cols. This cols all shall fill half of the screen in width.

One thing I'm concerned about is the resolution. I've noticed in apps such as MLB At Bat it is not as crisp as the iPhone and the video in the app is not as crisp as it was on the iPhone. I don't think the resolution is bad but it concerns me that it will start to really bother me.
