So, now I tested again with the emulator. I started the shipped AVD for the nexus 7. 800 x 1280 tvdpi.
According to my dip calculatioon, the smallest side (800), with this density (~216ppi), is ~479 dp Now, according to the documentation: <supports-screens android:compatibleWidthLimitDp="320" /> "This indicates that the maximum "smallest screen width" for which your application is designed is 320dp. This way, any devices with their smallest side being larger than this value will offer screen compatibility mode as a user-optional feature." And <supports-screens android:largestWidthLimitDp="320" /> "This works the same as android:compatibleWidthLimitDp<http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/supports-screens-element.html#compatibleWidth> except it force-enables screen compatibility mode and does not allow users to disable it." So to *force compatibility mode*, I put in my manifest: <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" android:targetSdkVersion="15"/> * <supports-screens android:largestWidthLimitDp="400" />* Or: <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7"/> * <supports-screens android:largestWidthLimitDp="400" />* Doesn't work - the Nexus 7 emulator is not in compatibility mode. *Why*?
