Android – Enable small screen resolution of your Android Application

9 Comments

For all Android mobiles, there exists 3 screen sizes:

  • Small: devices with a screen size smaller than the T-Mobile G1 or Samsung I7500, for example the recently announced HTC Tattoo.
  • Normal: devices with a screen size roughly the same as the G1 or I7500

  2. Hi,

    I am trying to use Resource Qualifier for layout as layout-large. But when the application is starting in the emulator its reading the same file from default layout folder. The res folder structure is as below :

    res/
    layout/login.xml
    layout-large/login.xml

    What I want is when there is large screen the layout-large/login.xml file should be read but its not.

    What is wrong over here?

    Any help would be appreciated?

    Thanks & Regards

    1. I guess the following url may help
      Handling Multiple Screen Sizes, Part Three
       
      Size-Based Sets

      Similarly, if you wish to have different resource sets based upon screen size, Android offers -small, -normal, and -large resource set labels. Creating res/layout-large-land/ would indicate layouts to use on large screens (e.g., WVGA) in landscape orientation.
