View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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 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.
I have an ANDROID tablet with screen resolution of 600*976 which is quite rare and is not supported by many ANDROID apps....here comes the question : is it possible to change the screen resolution of display? eg 800*480?
A12(C1B2)
Is there a way to scale down or zoom out in an app so the screen is smaller so I can achieve a better resolution?
I specifically want to use it for MyBoy since the app blows up the size on my Note 2 and it doesnt have as good clarity if I could make the screen smaller.

i am trying to do a port from a rom that has a different screen resolution to the phone i want to port to i have the rom booting fine but at the wrong resolution.
View 9 Replies View Related Yesterday I updated my galaxy s2 to android 4.0.3 and was very happy with the display resolution. I also loved the simple sky blue colored background which I can't find it later after playing around with themes.
Since I am a fan of Go Launcher theme, I inadvertently changed the theme to something else. What I noticed is that it updated my screen resolution as well. All of the sudden, I start seeing big icons and Widgets clogging the homescreen. The sleek look of ics is no longer visible. It was very obvious from the settings window that the screen resolution is changed (to smaller resolution). I was very disappointed and hence removed the theme. Unfortunately it didn't restore the display settings.
If the latest updates really has higher resolution than gingerbread then is there a wway to restore that for my phone? I thought of doing factory restore but reinstall of all the apps and configuring them is no fun.
I want to change the screen resolution of my device and I have an sh script for it.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
am display-size 1280x800
am display-density 160
How do I create a flashable zip file that can execute this script?
How do I convert phone resolution Bootanimation to tablet resolution?
I have 4 boot animations that I want to convert to work on my Nexus 10 full screen.

I own a galaxy nexus and the performance of a few HD games are under my expectations, even with a bus overclocked kernel! (i've tried many, to no use )
Is there is a way to force selected apps to run at a lower screen resolution? say 540x960? i don't mind if it doesn't run in full screen, i just prefer a constant 60FPS over a few extra details!
I owned a Sony Xperia S lt26i. it will lags constantly while playing some games, i think it is because of its high screen resolution.
If i want to change whole device screen resolution from 1280x720 to 960x540 I just need to change the lcd density/screen resolution at build.prop and change all apps to 960x540 compatible (included launcher) , then change the details of my model to Xperia P (which is a 960x540 resolution) Is it my steps will work?
is there a way to reduce the sensitivity of the screen because when i type something i sometimes have my fingers hovering over the screen (NOT touching it) and it registers it as a key stroke! how can i reduce this sensitivity?
View 4 Replies View RelatedII'm running Sapphire 1.0 with incognito theme on my droid, and its a great ROM, but I keep getting some pretty lengthy screen and application loading lags that are getting frustrating. Some apps are randomly force closing too, specifically.Maps. I'm just wondering if there's a way to reduce all this in some of the setup/settings/spare parts, or if there is a ROM best for transition speed and minimum lag.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'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 RelatedIn android, to support all the screen resolution, i have created the layout, layout-small, layout-large folder in res folder, and i have .xml file in all the folder. I can get the output in normal screen and small screen resolution, but in large screen emulator i am getting the xml file in normal folder.it is not reading the xml file in large screen emulator. i am using Android 1.6

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?

My question is: should i really forget about qvga or not?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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
In my android application, I would like to support multiple screens. So I have my layout xml files in res/layout (the layout are the same across different screen resolution). And I place my high-resolution asserts in res/drawable-hdpi

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 ?
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.
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?

width = d.getWidth();
height = d.getHeight();
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.
