ANDROID : Multiple resolution

3
votes

I am developing an app that support multiple resolutions. I have been through the http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html but couldn't find the solution.

The resolutions are :

1) 320x480 (Samsung Galaxy ACE)

2) 480x800 (Samsung Nexus S)

3) 600x1024 (Samsung Galaxy Tab 7in)

How do I classify the folder names for Layout and Drawable as well?

Currently I am using:-

For 320x480 : layout-mdpi, drawable-mdpi

For 480x800 : layout-hdpi, drawable-hdpi

For 600x1024 : layout-large, drawable-large

Only the 320x480 resolution is working fine.

Please help.

The dpi are maybe not related to the screen size. But I think there is a way to specifify the screen size directly. I saw there something in the sharlockactionbar source code. - rekire
@rekire - I just searched and checked..it's using same specifications. - Me-an-Droid
github.com/JakeWharton/ActionBarSherlock/tree/master/library/… there they use a mix see the folder names - rekire

Instead using xhdpi, hdpi, mdpi, sdpi try to use small, normal, large, xlarge.

Every device has it own density, sometimes large device having less density and vice versa, So just try to use drawble(outside category), drawble-small, drawble-normal, drawble-large and layout(outside category), layout-small, layout-normal, layout-large.
