Hi Moktarul, thanks for the input but this isn't about attempting to scale particular images or views. This is about attempting to choose an appropriate layout for the device. Ie on devices that have enough room to fit more fields (eg tablets) I display extra fields.
What I'm struggling with is how the decision on which resource qualified layout is chosen. In particular why an 800*400 160dpi device is considered large-hdpi William On Feb 22, 9:35 pm, moktarul anam <mokta...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi William, > I will suggest you to use layout weight/ weight sum ( basically > instead if giving dip value, give in percentage) > > Moktarul Anam > > On Feb 22, 7:08 am, William Ferguson <william.ferguson...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > > > > > > > I am trying to work out why a device (in this case an AVD) that is > > 800*400 and mdpi is selecting a layout that is large-hdpi. > > > There are only 2 layout options for the app, the default and large- > > hdpi. > > I can conceivably see how the device could be considered large > > - large screens are at least 640dp x 480dp > > (fromhttp://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html#range) > > even though it's not quite there is one dimension. > > > But it's only 160dpi, so certainly not hdpi (ie approx 240dpi). > > > I had always thought that in order to match a resource qualifier > > (including layout) you need to at least match all items.
