I was hoping someone could help get a bit familiar with certain
aspects of developing applications for Android, specifically in the
areas of applying a design to an application.

My application is an Android UI for already existing backend system.
The existing application has a Web UI already in place.  We want to
keep the same look and feel that the website has on the Android
application.  My questions are as follows:

-       My UI designer has created a sample treatment for what the Android
application should look like.  My designer can cut up the design into
individual images so that they can be placed on the canvas.  I am
hoping to have these images placed as the background for text boxes,
buttons, and other widgets.  What is the best way to achieve this?

-       Because there is a landscape and portrait mode, what is the best way
to handle the different resolutions?  Is there some way to instruct
the application to use different images depending on the modes?  Is
there an event I can listen for so that I can programmatically change
the images for the mode the application is in?

What is the supported image format for doing things like this (i.e.
png, jpg, gif)?


My background is in web and desktop applications, so I realize that my
questions might be partial to those environments.  If Android has a
completely different way to achieve these results then pointing me to
that documentation is sufficient for now.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
