Also, please, when you develop your app, don't think of things as "I am going to design a UI for 320x480, and 480x800, and 480x854." Instead, design graphics for the different densities you will support, and then do the layout for the smallest size you will support and make sure it can adjust in some reasonable way for larger screen sizes. For most apps this is very straight-forward as long as they have some data/content area that would naturally resize. For things like games this is often not so clear, but at the least you can target a few common sizes and make sure your game centers itself or whatever on larger screens from that. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer hack...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.
