Hi Dianne One of the main issues I'm having with Android is supporting all major API levels. A lot of problems could be solved easily if I had to support only the newer version but my apps need to run on Android>=1.6 (finally decided not to support 1.5 any longer). As much as I appreciate all the new cool stuff Google is bringing with the new versions of Android most of these functions are pretty useless to me. Of course I'm using reflection in certain cases but that's honestly not my preferred programming style. SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_XLARGE unfortunately isn't supported before Gingerbread so it's either using reflection or my approach (maybe there are other solutions) to _really_ solve Droid's problem (I agree that the nosensor approach is not the right one).
Also I want to thank you for your ongoing and very helpful support in this forum. I really appreciate it.
