Using drawable-xlarge is probably a bad idea. It might work for the current wave of 1280x800 10" tablets, but what about xlarge tablets with other resolutions?
Android is not designed to simply scale up the user interface. Your dialogs probably look just fine one a real tablet. You can compare this with the message dialogs on a normal laptop. Tablets have a larger screen and the normal way to deal with that is to show more information at the same time. Sometimes this just works and sometime you have to adjust the layouts, specify layout-xlarge or rethink the UI completely (like the Android Market app). But this obviously depends on what kind of app you have. On 29 Juli, 15:44, Neilz <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all.
