Hi there. I too am trying to make use of the <supports-screens> manifest directive to support both newer and older phones, but I seem to be hitting a catch-22.
In order to use <supports-screens>, you must build with the 1.6 SDK or higher. However, the output of such a build will not install on my Android 1.5 developer device. The output I get when I try to install it is: bionic/linker/linker.c:1126| ERROR: 4830 cannot locate '(null)'... bionic/linker/linker.c:1641| ERROR: failed to link libui.so bionic/linker/linker.c:1581| ERROR: 4830 could not load 'libui.so' bionic/linker/linker.c:1641| ERROR: failed to link libandroid_runtime.so bionic/linker/linker.c:1581| ERROR: 4830 could not load 'libandroid_runtime.so' bionic/linker/linker.c:1641| ERROR: failed to link app_process bionic/linker/linker.c:1741| ERROR: CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE 'app_process' How do I create a single app that uses <supports-screens> that will install on earlier devices?
