As I understand you're using Canvas. If so, you need to solve at least two problems: 1. Multiple screen resolutions (320x240 -> 854x480) 2. Different aspect ratios (15:11 -> 15:8) First you'll need to know screen dimensions and density at runtime. See Display and DisplayMetrics. You can then use these values to position your graphics on the screen. Let's say you want a 50x50 image centered vertically and aligned with the right side of the screen. Instead of (450, 135) draw it at (screenWidth - imageWidth, screenHeight/2 - imageHeight/2) and now you don't depend on screen or image resolution anymore. Avoid hard-coded coordinates where possible and it will be much easier. Next thing you need to do is scale your assets. You have a few options: 1. You specify anyDensity="false" (aka "compatibility mode ON") in your manifest, and let the device scale images based on its screen density. Pros: easy. Cons: scaling artifacts, doesn't solve aspect ratio issues, non-native resolution on large screens etc 2. You pre-scale your assets and prepare different image sets for different screens. If you use /res, read this: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html once again. If you place them in /assets, write your own loader which looks for images with the right size/density/aspect qualifier. 3. You combine the 2 above methods. Let the device scale some images, pre-scale others (may want to look at BitmapFactory.Options at some point), resize some of them at runtime. Makes sense if you are porting a J2ME game and implementing proper support for multiple resolutions is too much work. Hope this helps and good luck with your game.
