I have general question about Cupcake (or any other later relase): do you, when writing apps, consider running them on qvga device? although Dianne wrote here http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/msg/73ded3ba1fe7139e that qvga is not supported i still see in Cupcake sdk qvga skins...
My question is: should i really forget about qvga or not?

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?
I want to how to develop and test apps for the Galaxy tab. I mean like the Android simulator, can we test the tab apps on a simulator? Is there a way to download simulator for the tab or should we tweak the existing simulator?

I want to get the width and height of my device to know what type device it is ie QVGA, HVGA ,WVGA.. Also i need to adjust some layouts according to width and height of the screen.
I tried following methods but its not working.
CODE:.........
All these methods return wrong width and height for the 240x320 devices namely Samsung Europa and Alcatel which i have. Width = 320 Height = 240.. This is wierd as some of the critical functionality is getting hampered .. I think this is really a basic thing which shd be correctly provided. Please help me with this issue .
Im trying to do some testing with a QVGA emulator and I find that it looks for an image resource in the mentioned order.
drawable-mdpi 1st
drawable-hdpi 2nd
drawable-ldpi 3rd (it does get found only after i change the name of the image in the other two dirs for testing)
I would expect it to be ldpi first.
When running other emulators (HVGA and WVGA) they use their appropriate drawable dirs... its only QVGA. The only code that I see could affect this is here (based on the docs)
I have tested this with a 2.0 emulator and a 1.6, i get the same result.
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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWith 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?

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 ?
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.
Is it possible to reduce screen resolution in android? so as to save power or play games more smoothly just like on a pc for example?
View 9 Replies View RelatedHow 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.
I see that the minimum screen diagonal size for Android is listed as 2.6". I am looking at custom building a device with screen size 2.2" to 2.4" and resolution 320X240. Want to know if Android works on smaller screens. Do I need to write any display drivers to support the smaller screens? Does physical size really matter?

I'm a former iPhone user. I was happy with the iPhone but got bored with it. I'm still getting used the EVO. I love the screen size and the notification system. 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.
