I've found the reason this happens. According to the documentation:
"Compatibility-mode display on larger screen-sizes
If the current screen's size is larger than your application supports,
as specified in the supports-screens element, the platform displays
the application at the baseline size ("normal") and density ("medium).
For screens larger than baseline, the platform displays the
application in a baseline-sized portion of the overall screen, against
a black background."
This is what's happening to me.
Unfortunately my app is being built against Android 1.5 and I can't
include the <supports-screens> tag in the manifest to indicate that I
support the large screens which would allow it to scale properly.
Does anyone know of a way to tell the screen to stretch / fill_parent
on large screens in Android 1.5?
Thanks,
Rob
