I'm trying to upgrade my app so it makes efficient use of the new large screens. I'm not sure what my app's behavior is on a Droid (which admittedly isn't new, but I've never had one and I suppose could try the appropriate Droid emulator) but for now I'm experimenting with the Galaxy Tab emulator (and I have confirmed identical undesirable behavior on an actual Tab as well, as described below).
My app's view is shown with a black border around both sides and across the bottom (but not the top). I realize people are familiar with this already and that I'm not the first person to have trouble with this, but I haven't deciphered the solution yet. My layout starts with this: <ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" > <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical" > ...etc... I had hoped that fill_parent would make the layout fill the screen, but obviously it doesn't. Not only does it not fill horizontally, but the view is taller than the screen which kicks the scroll bar into action, and yet it doesn't fill vertically either. I have also added this to my my manifest: <supports-screens android:largeScreens="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:smallScreens="true" android:anyDensity="true" /> but that has had no noticeable effect on the app's behavior. I have confirmed if I create layout-large and layout-large-land res directories that is uses the layouts in those two directories, but I still don't know how to adjust the layout itself to behavior correctly. Any thoughts? Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
