I would like to create different layouts for tablets and for mobile devices in Android. Where should I put the layout resources in order to make this differentiation?

I have an XML layout with some custom tabs, a heading, and a ProgressBar(main.xml). I wish to add another XML layout(home.xml) to the main.xml layout, as i wish to keep main.xml re-usable for other activity's layouts and simply add things to it as necessary.The problem: after inflating R.layout.home into rootLayout, it seems as though the ProgressBar contained in rootLayout is hidden underneath the content of home.xml.Is there a way to tell certain views(via XML) to float above other views when the layout is constructed in this way?if not, am i forced to use methods such as progressBar.bringToFront() to raise targeted views to the top?what alternatives do i have in z-ordering views when some layouts are constructed using inflation?

The Samsung Tab 2 7" has the same resolution as the Samsung Tab 3 7" but the latter has some extra pixels available since it doesn't have a menu bar at the bottom.
How should one design the layout for these tablets?
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.
Bought two tablets for Christmas for the kids, and I would like to have both exactly the same. Don't want them fighting over who has which apps or tablet. The tablets are both the same, so no hardware issues.

I'm wondering if it is possible to use a layout resource in my jar so I can build the layout of my view or if I need to build up my view programmatically. Similarly, can I include image resources in my jar file?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI know this is a developer site. BUT, and I think the moderators and fellow responders would agree: developers these days are usually also the people that market their product. Especially if you're an independent one-man-team like myself. So I think this can be a relevant question on stackoverflow: I'm wondering what resources you have used to promote and market your mobile app? Or if you can give some tips or recommendations, links, etc?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to create an application that has 5 images, 4 of which are small, and one is larger. The 4 small images I would like to place in the corners of the screen, and the big image I want to be right in the center. Like this: http://www.eng.utah.edu/~jwilson/files/layout.png
What is the best type of layout to accomplish this? I would like the layout to work on various devices, so some kind of fluid method is preferred over absolute positioning. Seems like a table view would work if the images were the same size, but they're not.
I am successfully linking some of my code stored in a .jar-based library to my Android app. The .jar code references Android library content just fine.

View 9 Replies View RelatedIn past couple of days, users of my app have sent crash reports indicating errors in layout inflation.
"android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #27: Error inflating class java.lang.reflect.Constructor"
After some investigation I found out that all four of them were using the new Sprint HTC Hero devices. This error hasn't been reported on any other device/ROM nor could I repro it in the emulator.
I figured this is the kind of error that one gets if layout is too big or too wide. Although my layout is very well within the limits that Android framework puts, I split it further and asked the users to test. However, even with this fix the users are seeing similar crash while inflating the layout.
How I can proceed to fix/workaround the issue - given that I don't have access to any such device?
Following is the detailed stack trace of the crash:

View 45 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to connect to connect to my T-Mobile G1 to test a simple android app I an creating. I cannot get it to show up in the list of connected android devices. Here are the details: - 32-bit Windows XP - I have enabled USB Debugging on my device - I am not prompted with the New Hardware Wizard when I plug my device in, it is merely seen as a new removable drive. It does not appear under any other categories in Device Manager, nor is there a new "Unknown Device" entry anywhere to be found - I have tried "Update Driver" and select the driver that Google provides for their official developer devices, but it says "this driver does not match your device" or something to that effect. Probably because it is expected a device type other than "Disk Drive" - I have tried uninstalling the device under "Disk Drives" and plugging it in again but it always gets reinstalled automatically as a "Disk Drive" - I have tried uninstalling the device, manually installing the Google driver from the INF file and plugging in the device and it is still only recognized as a "Disk Drive" - Most importantly, I get a blank device list when I run "adb devices" from the Android SDK tools directory before and after each step I tried After hours of scouring the web I get the distinct impression that a new device category should be popping up in Device Manager if the driver is installed correctly, but I have not been able to get the device to come up as anything other than a new "Disk Drive"

View 2 Replies View RelatedI don't see the logic behind this. The more people who watch hulu means more people who are looking at ads. And the more people who look at ads, the more money hulu makes. The only logic I could see behind this is that a Hulu Plus app is coming to the Android market, but I haven't heard anything about that.What's your take on this?
