To avoid such issue prescale your screenshots in GIMP or PS to match 320x480 and then upload. Still you can't do much about the compression as what Market serves is always JPEG with too low quality (so if you got i.e. gradients your pic may not look too nice) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Android Market cropping uploaded screenshots
Thought I'd inquire here where perhaps some other dev is having similar problems currently. I've done this before (months ago), and as far as I can tell, I'm doing it the same way.

Windows explorer confirms that my PNG file is of the proscribed size and bit depth. The app is Metronome++ if you want to see what the problem looks like on Market. Do I really need to work around this by providing screenshots with margins? As 480x854 is a standard screen size, I am assuming the intent is for the screenshot to go edge to edge in both horizontal and vertical directions.

Re: [android-developers] Android Market cropping uploaded screenshots
I've run into the same problem with my app on the market. It looks OK when you click in to view the screenshot, but looks fuzzy when viewing from the app's page on the market. -- Chris Stewart http://chriswstewart.com Fantasy Footballhttp://chriswstewart.com/android-applications/fantasy-football/- Android app for fantasy football fanatics and MFL owners Social Updaterhttp://chriswstewart.com/android-applications/social-updater/- An easy way to send your status blast to multiple social networks On Fri, Aug 13, 2010 at 11:33 AM, OldSkoolMark m...@sublimeslime.comwrote: Thought I'd inquire here where perhaps some other dev is having similar problems currently.
