Had a low phone space warning so I've been moving a bunch of apps I don't keep open all the time over to my SD card. Why does the memory footprint of the app go way down when moved to the SD card? I had one go from 2.8ish MB to 800ish KB.

I have noticed this evening that a number of my apps seem to be smaller on the screen.Paper Toss now only fills half the screen, Solitaire the cards are a lot smaller and harder to read. And MixZing, the menu font is a lot smaller.
Could these all just be issues with the apps or could I have done something to my phone? I can't see that it is possible to change the screen res on the phone and I have not downloaded any further applications that would have changed this.
I did search and read the other threads, but has anyone had experience with portable chargers with the Eris?
I am headed to Bonnaroo and I am sure I'll be using the phone a lot so I was looking at the smaller portable chargers that run off of AA batteries. Figuring I'll need a mid day charge so I want a smaller one to throw in my pack.
I'm shopping for a cheap used droid for verizon and think I have it narrowed down to the eris or droid 1. I really like the eris for the price, however the droid has a lot of perks too like bigger higher res screen, more modern cpu, and improved battery life. I plan to root either device. What do you guys think, will I be disappointed with an eris? Is the smaller lower res screen bad for browsing? Can I expect to leave the wifi radio on all day for voip without too much in the way of battery life problems?

View 16 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create smaller tabs in android -- but I can't seem to get it to work because all that happens when I create a smaller tab is that it shows the bigger tab -- but without a drawable.
This is my layout code for tabs now -- but the height isn't wrapping for some reason -- it just goes to Android's usual layout height.
CODE:.........................
It would be great if someone could help me create something like the Facebook application -- I think that looks really clean and I would love to implement something like it:
Why do some people say the Moment is a "brick"? I haven't done a side-by-side comparison, but according to specs I found online the Moment is smaller than the iPhone in width and height, and only 1.5mm thicker:
Moment: 113.2 x 56.4 x 13.8 mm
iPhone: 115.5 x 62.1 x 12.3 mm
I've added a RatingBar in a layout :
CODE:...........
But the default style for the rating bar is too large.
I've trie to change it by adding the android style : style="?android:attr/ratingBarStyleSmall"
But the result is too small and it's impossible to set a rate with this property.
I had a Desire but now have the Wildfire and things look bigger on the wildfire then on the desire like Apps icons and when im using the internet so would like to know if there is anyway of making things look smaller?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was smsing this morning on my HTC Hero using the normal virtual keyboard that came with the phone. But all of a sudden, the keyboard changed into something different.
The keys became smaller, the number keys are with the alphabet keys(on top), and there is an extra key to toggle to tamil(?) characters. And when I type, there is no more 'feedback' from the screen. The auto correct feature is gone too. how to get my old virtual keyboard back?
I'm trying to copy a series of small bitmaps into a larger one, arranging them side by side without any gaps or overlap in their pixels. For example, if I have 3 square bitmaps, I'd like to copy them into one long and thin rectangle. I know how to do the opposite, namely creating a small bitmap out of a larger one, but not this way around. What's the right command? I want to do this to be able to reuse some code I wrote for handling animation with a single bitmap.)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an application built for 1.5 and I am adding higher resolution drawables to support hdpi devices in 1.6 and above.My original application icon is 48x48. I created a second launcher icon that is 72x72 and placed it in a res/drawable-hdpi/ directory.When I install the application on my Nexus One the icon looks good when I view it in the application menu.But when I place it on the desktop it appears small relative to other icons, my guess is I'm seeing the 48x48 version with no scaling.Do I need to do something differently either with my directory structure or my manifest file to get things to display correctly?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a way to make the font smaller in they keyboard entry field. I've searched around but have been unsuccessful in finding anyone who's done such a thing before. I have made the font smaller within conversations using handcent, but the keyboard entry field remains elusive. The app spareparts has and option to shrink the overall font, but that setting within that program does not function on the droid x.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to show a large number of EditText controls on a screen, each of which will only allow entering 0-2 digits. The default EditText size is too wide for me to show enough EditText controls on a screen, but I have been unable to figure out how to make them narrower. I have tried the following attributes in XML: android:maxLength="2" android:layout_width="20dip" android:maxWidth="20px" android:ems="2" android:maxEms="2". So the question is: how can EditText be made smaller than default?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am creating a simple android app to view a comic book. The pages are large(0.5-1 mb each), high quality .png's and I am loading them into a webview to make use of the built in zoom controls. So far I only have 17 files and the APK size is already about 16 mb. I'm looking to add over 200 files in future updates. I can't really reduce the quality too much because there is small text that must be zoomed-in on to read. Any suggestions? A similar question was posted here: How to reduce App (.apk) Size, but I don't want to lose the quality of the images. I'm not sure if it's appropriate to link to here, but you can have a look at my app by searching for Tracer (by Detour Mobile) on the android market if it helps at all.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a basic linear layout, with image view that display photos, textviews that show text etc...and when I test my whole app on my android 2, there is never any part of the screen that doesn't show. But when I test it in the QVGA emulator, half the view is off the screen. Now, some of my text is defined to a certain size.
I never use px (only dip) in any of my xml. I use fill_parent, wrap_content where it is needed and never fix a height or length. Could it be with my text, I use say, textSize = 22dip? I couldn't find documentation on why that would not work in all sizes. Could it be that some apps need to be programmed to those screen sizes? Or am I missing something?
I use a few small images on my app and I was wondering if (and how) I could ensure that the size of the image is relative to the size of the phone? Also, is there a way to shrink my layout on smaller phones so each layout fits within the screen - like if a random string (longer than others) would downsize in font so the whole layout was ensured to fit on the screen?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs anyone else having a problem with Beautiful Widgets smaller home weather after the last update? I noticed on my wife's ally, when you'd go to landscape, the widget does not fill the screen end to end like it used to. It cuts off about 1/2" from each side of the screen. I have an ally also and mine goes end to end. I'm still using an older version of Beautiful Widgets though. I reverted hers back to an older version and it works like mine, going end to end, as it should. I see in the release notes on the newest release that they 'fixed' a landscape bug on smaller home weather, but it seems their fix made it not work correctly on the ally. I can't seem to find any way to contact them about this.
To elaborate on my already long post, I'm using launcher pro plus, and when I highlight the widget to resize, the highlighted box DOES go end to end. The widget does not. WTF? Is it a skin issue maybe? Something is weird.
