Also on that page: Default values for attributes
The default values for the <supports-screens> attributes differs, depending on the value of theandroid:minSdkVersion<http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html> attribute in the application's manifest, as well as on the value of android:targetSdkVersion, if declared: - If android:minSdkVersion or android:targetSdkVersion is "3" (Android 1.5) or lower, the default value for everything except android:normalScreens is false. If you are primarily targeting pre-Android 1.6 platforms but also want to support other densities/screen sizes, you need to set the appropriate attributes to true. - If android:minSdkVersion or android:targetSdkVersion is "4" (Android 1.6) or higher, the default value for everything is true. If your application requires Android 1.6 features, but does not support these densities and/or screen sizes, you need to set the appropriate attributes to false. - Note that android:normalScreens always defaults to true. But um yeah if you want to be uber-pedantic... wait, no, not even in that case. "This gun lets me kill the bunny." That doesn't imply to me that the gun is the only way I have to kill the bunny. :) On Fri, Sep 3, 2010 at 11:57 PM, Indicator Veritatis <[email protected]>wrote: > I take your word for this, that it really is true.
