Some other conclusions ... I´ve have found another interesting fact (at least on my environment):
if on my AndroidManifest.xml I set android:largeScreens="true", my avd running the skin WQVGA432 works just as it is supposed to (there shouldn´t be any connection between them, right?), but large avds display my layout horribly (as expected). Well, if I set it as false, don´t ask me why the layout is not displayed right on WQVGA432. Indeed it looks like it´s height is a lot smaller than it should (I have an widget anchored at the bottom of the screen and it shows up +/- at 2/3). The only thing I did was to change this setting, back and forth, many times and the error appeared repeatedly in all of them. Leaving this way my app should now work on cellphones but not on tablets or other devices (since it´s gonna look back on a FQWVGA phone.). Any thoughts on this one?
