Tactically, assuming this is a drawable resource, have two. Put your 320px edition in res/drawable under some name (e.g., background.png). Put your 480px edition in res/drawable-land-480x320 under the same name (e.g., background.png). You can then refer to it as @drawable/background or R.drawable.background and Android will choose the proper one. Strategically, bear in mind that there will soon be a variety of screen sizes, not just 480x320, so you may wish to rethink your UI design to better accommodate semi-random sizing. > I've tried a nine-patch image as a background but can't get that to > work :( Have you tried the image in the draw9patch tool in your SDK? -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 2.0 Available! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
