Hi Dianne,
I am using both supports-screens and compatible-screens as we are
targeting devices that have screen resolution from normal to xlarge
and density ldpi to hdpi. Is this the right thing to do or is there a
way to add the density requirement to supports screen section and
exclude the compatible-screens section entirely? We want to make sure
that we are excluding small screens handsets, tablets and any screen
with higher density than hdpi. Hibrid handset - tablet is ok.
The following is a snippet of the manifest file:
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.touchscreen"
android:required="true"/>
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.screen.portrait"
android:required="true"/>
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony"
android:required="true"/>
<!-- Screens -->
<supports-screens android:smallScreens="false" />
<supports-screens android:normalScreens="true" />
<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true" />
<supports-screens android:xlargeScreens="true" />
<compatible-screens>
<screen android:screenSize="normal"
android:screenDensity="ldpi" />
<screen android:screenSize="normal"
android:screenDensity="mdpi" />
<screen android:screenSize="normal"
android:screenDensity="hdpi" />
<screen android:screenSize="large"
android:screenDensity="ldpi" />
<screen android:screenSize="large"
android:screenDensity="mdpi" />
<screen android:screenSize="large"
android:screenDensity="hdpi" />
<screen android:screenSize="xlarge"
android:screenDensity="ldpi" />
<screen android:screenSize="xlarge"
android:screenDensity="mdpi" />
<screen android:screenSize="xlarge"
android:screenDensity="hdpi" />
</compatible-screens>
Thank you.
