I've received the following crash report from a user. He's running HTC Wildfire 2.1. I've tried duplicating the issue on the emulator by setting up a Wildfire-like system (2.1, QVGA). but no luck. I suspected a corrupt installation, so I sent him my APK and the same thing happened. I am at a co

I've seen problems like this. There appears to be no discernable rhyme and reason as to when a VerifyError will be thrown. The only way to know is to run your code. If it only happens with the release build, I suspect a ProGuard optimization issue. On May 26, 3:05 pm, Dave Johnston wrote: >

I would just use a set of drawables with the largest DPI your minimum SDK version allows and let the system scale it for you. So typically, just have HDPI drawables if your minSdkVersion < 8, and XHDPI drawables if your minSdkVersion >= 8. You may get a slight performance improvement if you prov
