View 1 Replies View RelatedI read the official document about supporting multiple screens http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
According to that document, I should just create different directories for different resolultion.
Now the question. How to support devices with normal screen and high density or low density?
I ask it because, there are two posibilities (WVGA800 (480x800) and WVGA854 (480x854)) and (WQVGA400 (240x400) and WQVGA432 (240x432)) and I don't know where to store some background images for them.
I would take drawable-normal-hdpi or drawable-normal-ldpi, but how to make difference between 480x800 and 480x854 or between 240x400 and 240x432?!
A lot of hay is being made over the iPhone4's 326 ppi screen density. I was just curious, for comparison purposes, what's the pixel density of the Evo screen? This would be an easy calculation to do if I knew what the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the screen were, but I can't seem to find that information anywhere.
If anyone knows the pixel density or even just the exact X and Y dimensions of the screen..
How to get the screen density programmatically in android?
I mean How to find the screen dpi of the current device?
Can you please tell me how can I specify dimension of layout for different density of screen?
i.e. the layout are the same across different densities, but some dimension are different.
how can I do that?
I'm getting ready to release my first application the marketplace. It's being written for devices running Android 1.5 and above, however there aren't any specific folders for the three different screen densities (I think those came around in 1.6). Should I make these folders myself? Where should I put image resources for the different densities and what should I put in my Manifest?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm being confused by the 'screen density' concept in Android. I knwe that dpi (dot per inch) came from the printing device. 160 dpi means 160 dots in every inch on the paper. However, when dpi is used for the screen density, for example, what's mentioned '160 dpi screen' in Android document, what's the meaning? 160 pixels on every inch of the display?
As described in http://code.google.com/intl/zh-CN/android/reference/available-resourc..., 1 dip (density-independent pixel) means 1 pixel on a 160 dpi screen. Why does the ratio of dp-to-pixel not necessarily change with the screen density in direct proportion?
When the dpi is changed from 160 to 80, how many pixels will 1dp will take? 0.5?
I can hardly understand why dip/dp is introduced into Android.
I have an image put on an ImageButton, which looks good on a mdpi (medium-dpi) screen. However, when the device has a hdpi (high-dpi) screen, the image is still pixel-by-pixel accurate, which look small on the device screen.How do I make such that the image (and therefore the ImageButton) scaled based on the density-independent pixels (dp or dip) instead of pixels?

Since yesterday my screen timeout it's not working correctly. Whatever I set it to, usually 30 seconds, whenever I go back to my home screen and back into the settings it is changing itself back to 10 minutes.
I've tried disabling tasker, lux and widgetlocker but I cannot get the timeout to stick on 30 seconds.
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?
I have a problem with my sgy s5360 (rooted). i recently changed my lcd density in error and instead of the 120 default setting, I changed it to 288. that was really frustrating. I haven't been able to fix it myself. I have already done the factory reset but that didn't work. I used the ROM toolbox. Now my sgy is like in a zoomed state. Large fonts, cannot unlock and change to default setting. I cannot click the android icon that can be seen when you reboot your phone and did the factory reset. assistance is badly needed. i have browsed through the theads, but this issue has not been addressed.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAs per managing resources(images) in > Android 1.6 version, we need to keep different-resolutions image in Drawable-Hdpi, Drawable-Mdpi, Drawable-Lpi folder particularly.
And as per this page: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html ,
In Low density section - there are three resolutions used: 240*320 , 240x400 , 240x432 for the Small screen, Normal Screen, Large Screen particularly.
same way for Medium density section - there are three resolutions used: 320x480 , 480x800 , 480x854 for the Small screen, Normal Screen, Large Screen particularly. and same way for High density ........
But i am confused here:
(1) How do i come to know that whether small, Normal or Large screen is used, i mean is there any way to know ?
(2) How do i come to know which type of density i am using ?
(3) And in Drawable-Hdpi, Drawable-Mdpi, Drawable-ldpi folder, which resolution's image we should keep particularly?
I always used LCD Density Modder Pro for the Play Store Fix for my SGS3, but now i noticed, that it's a very outdated version of the Store and i even can't buy anything, because it always says: Packagefile is invalid.
Is there any alternative modded Playstore around for a Density of 320?
My galaxy s3 is rooted and cwm installed.I have changed a default dpi and rebooted to find my self in constant boot loop.I'm at the brink of flashing my rom to a custom one to see if it works but very scared to do so especially not knowing much about it.I have performed hard reset by going into recovery mode but it didn't work.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have karbonn titanium s5 not a very popular phone. It doesn't have any custom rom.. I rooted it and tried to change lcd density using lcd density modder app from google play phone doesn't boots up anymore.
I see the screen when device turns on then i hear the boot animation but i cannot see the boot animation. I have cwm accesable on the phone and can also boot it into fastboot mode. I have a nandroid backup when the phone used to work but its not restoring it says md5 mismatch.
There's no stock rom for my phone available but i have extracted the system folder from nandroid backup.
I'm confused regarding the densities. I see that with medium density, the screen resolution could be either 320x480, 480x800, or 480x854. So if I have an image thats 300px wide in the mdpi folder, how is it going to look the same size on all 3 different screen sizes (mainly 320x480 vs the other 2)? And by look the same size, I mean scale to be bigger or smaller depending upon the screen size.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI made a home screen just with Zooper and Tasker. Yesterday I changed the density to get everything smaller. Afterwards I changed the density back to original for my Launcher and for Zooper (With AppSettings).
Original Density: 320
Changed to: 270
Now I have the Problem that I can't click many of the created Widgets. I have multiple Text Elemts and Icons which dosnt react when i click them.
Now I tested a bit and found out that if the Text/Icons are much bigger I can click them (i.e. Textsize 40).
So i think i have to change the density for something else, but what? GT-N7100
I'm sure my Desire is changing change all by its self. Sometimes when you put it down it goes onto desk clock or weather. ~Presume it does not has a shake to change screen facility or anything.Maybe its just me, the screen is very sensitive.It's just done it again, picked it up and it moved off the HTC scene onto weather.

During this wait time I would like to blink/change the entire (phone) screen, say, red->yellow then repeat until the app is done. How can this be done? Does this involve "accessing" the phone's graphics card/kernel?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI know hardly anything about Android but here goes. I just upgraded from my Hero to an Evo and got my g/f a Samsung Epic. I played with both phone all evening and really like certain feature on each. I like her overall user interface more than mine. She has the four "shortcuts" at the bottom of the screen which I think is pretty cool but I have all the slick HTC widgets.. Is there a way to make my UI have the "shortcuts" at the bottom like her phone without loosing my widgets? I figure I could search around and load her interface on my phone but then I figure I will loose the HTC factory stuff.
