HTC desire has a 3.7 inch screen and a resolution of 480x800. Galaxy S 2 has a 4.3 inch screen and a resolution of 480x800. Dell Streak has a 5 inch screen and a resolution of 480x800.
The resolution has little to do with the size of the screen. On 11/2/2011 4:10 AM, DanielleM wrote:
Hello all: I'm trying to create proper images for the different screen size/ density combinations so my app looks good across devices. I've read the documentation here: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html However, I'm a little confused on some of it. For instance, down near the bottom of the document there is a nice little chart giving dimensions and densities for different screen configurations, but I don't see how it's physically possible to have a normal size screen with a high density with the same exact dimensions as a large size screen with both low and medium densities. Wouldn't that make the so-called normal size screen be a large screen if it's the same exact dimensions as what's considered a large size screen? Maybe I'm missing something here. Also the 480x800 size that is stated for Large Screens seems awfully big...is this considered to be the size of screen for say, a 7" tablet? And so, would the XLarge screen be considered to be a 10" tablet? My assumption is that I would create my comps in Photoshop with documents that are WxH and then either 120, 160, 240, or 300 for the different densities (which is labeled as resolution in Photoshop). If anyone can clarify these things for me and just let me know if I'm even on the right track that would be great. This seems harder than it needs to be. Thanks, DM
