Well, my layout is density independent. I misused the density folders as approximation for screen size, and it worked well on smartphones
The issue is that this app was never intended for tablets - but, great, in Android it's possible to exclude small screens, but not large ones. Nobody in the company was interested in using this app on large screens, so I never got the order or time to do this work. Now this app is available but the development is suspended - I'm also not working there anymore. The app looks perfect in all smartphones. But on tabled-sized screens it has mayor errors, because of some calculations I had to do programmatically, which seem to have a problem when the screen is large, and some places where I forgot nine patch buttons and things like that. There where also a lot of backgrounds with bitmap-shadow, where the content had to be adjusted very accuratedly to look correct. So, yeah, if I could, I would just put this application off for tablets, because that's was what I was told to, actually. But it's not possible. But I thought "Okay, I can resort to compatibility mode". But great to see, now, that this also doesn't work. So now I have to spend a weekend working for free, because my company doesn't targets the tablet market but Android thinks it's important? Am Donnerstag, 18.
