I'm dealing with the Galaxy Note, not the Galaxy Tab. It's not released yet, but Samsung is contacting developers to help them support the unusual display parameters they are using. The original Galaxy Tab has its own problems which I'm not exactly trying to solve right now! > But I guess they want apps to look like they do on a tablet - do you > know if they're going to include a magnifying glass? They aren't saying that they want apps to have a tablet experience on this device. They have simply pointed out that the app I'm working on doesn't look so great in one circumstance. That's because the Galaxy Note is using our "large" screen layouts even though it doesn't have the effective size in dp to back them up. What I'm trying to do is force our smartphone "normal" sized layout instead of our "large" tablet layout on this one device for this one screen. If I can just find a resource qualifier (valid for Gingerbread) that targets this one device, I'd just stick the layout I want into that configuration and be done with it. > > With this resource qualifier for screen dimension, does anyone know if > > it is width x height or the other way around, or does it matter at > > all? > > It's "width x height" (switched in land mode, too).
