Re: [android-developers] Re: How to test if app is shown on Market for all screensizes
Our app use the following permissions: android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION - android.permission.INTERNET - android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION - android.permission.CAMERA - android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE - android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE But why should the camera permission make the app not show up on market on HTC Tattoo?

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to test if app is shown on Market for all screensizes
Hi! How's your uses-sdk part of manifest looks like ? It looks like this: uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=3/ supports-screens android:smallScreens=true android:normalScreens=true android:largeScreens=true android:anyDensity=true / On Fri, Nov 13, 2009 at 5:47 AM, SoftwareForMe.com SoftwareForMe.com softwareforme@gmail.com wrote: As if it's not enough to have to manage the manifest, but HTC has a bit of a habit of releasing phones that cannot see some apps.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to test if app is shown on Market for all screensizes
Actually we first used: uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=3 android:targetSdkVersion=4 / But that didnt work either :( We tried to manually install the app on a real Tattoo device, and it worked prefectly. But the app cannot be found on the market from that same device? What to do? :) If I understand correctly, the market only looks at the manifest to determine if the app is visible or not? On Fri, Nov 13, 2009 at 10:17 AM, String sterling.ud...@googlemail.comwrote: I'd add a targetSdkVersion attribute with the highest level you've actually tested against, like this: uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=3 android:targetSdkVersion=5 / In my experience, the lack of that attribute caused higher-SDK emulator images to be reluctant to run the app, so I could imagine that it might cause issues on real hardware as well. Doesn't entirely make sense, as SDK 4 (Donut/1.6) is now widespread on other handsets - which I'm assuming can see your app - but it doesn't hurt.

I'd love to know if you can see PhoneMyPC. It's not a camera app, but it's been unavailable to a few [HTC] phones.
