How about using an ImageView with a centerCrop? We do this with an
original image sized at 3:2 aspect. The image is cropped on 16:9
devices but maintains aspect ratio. Be sure to test so you know
nothing important has been cropped out. As mentioned above 16:9 is a
pretty safe bet for a limit on
Well, if your background image is simple enough, may be with a text,
pr picture at the center, easily separated from the remaining
background, you can actually achieve a certain level of flexibility by
making it a 9 patch png. In such a case, you can have just one image,
that caters to all the scre
Thanks Bret. Will do something like that.
I hope Android will have more options to define a background with
multiplication of terminals and upcoming pads.

Thanks for any help,
Thierry.

I hadn't considered that, but then you can't reference the image in
the theme (which allows the background to load faster). I might give
that a shot, though.

No worries.
16x9 (a la Droid) is probably the most extreme screen aspect ratio
you'll ever encounter in an Android device. Have you considered
creating a scaled and cropped image on the fly the first time the app
is run and caching that on the SD card?

You're making some assumptions about what I'm assuming. The whole
reason this problem has come up is *because* phones have differing
aspect ratios. My question has very much so to do with the
possibility of a square display - if one comes up, then I want to be
able to keep the aspect ratio of the
