There was an extensive thread on here last week(?) on blending multiple-screen-size and Android 1.5 support. I don't have a link handy and don't have time to look it up right now, but I think by the end there was a hint of a resolution (pun lightly intended).

Quoting from the documentation, the version qualifier indicates: "Resources that are for use only on a specific API Level or higher" (key there being "or higher") > And what's weird: emulator1.6 (WVGA854, density @ 240), > uses hires-graphics. Now that seems odd. Why odd? Your density (240) is -hdpi, so it uses -hdpi graphics. > I've tried some other combinations, including the deprecated > -<resolution> qualifier, but no luck.

A 32px square image on a 3" QVGA screen and a 32px square image on a 3.7" WVGA854 screen are very different, particularly if they are something to be tapped upon. The former probably qualifies as "finger-friendly"; the latter size surely does not. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Android Programming Tutorials_ Version 1.0 In Print! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
