[android-developers] Re: Layout on emulator and phone
Oddly, I can no longer get an emulator to display a full-resolution 480-800 screen. This is something that changed on me overnight. Even if I specify the resolution explicitly when creating an emulator device, it still comes up 320x480. Has anyone else had this problem and do you have any suggestions how to fix it?

I have 2.1 OS on both FWIW, in all the samples I have tested, the Nexus One looks identical to aWVGA800Android 2.1 emulator image. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy)http://commonsware.com|http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Online Training: 26-30 April 2010:http://onlc.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Well, if you can suffer through the sluggish site, I encourage you to read the five-post blog series I just wrapped up on supporting multiple screen sizes: http://www.androidguys.com/2010/02/16/handling-multiple-screen-sizes-part/ http://www.androidguys.com/2010/02/18/handling-multiple-screen-sizes-part-2/ http://www.androidguys.com/2010/02/23/handling-multiple-screen-sizes-part-3/ http://www.androidguys.com/2010/03/01/handling-multiple-screen-sizes-part-4/ http://www.androidguys.com/2010/03/02/handling-multiple-screen-sizes-part-5/ Ideally, your existing main.xml just works. If that is untenable, or you want to do something significantly different, create res/layout-large/ and put a main.xml in there. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to *Advanced* Android Development_ Version 1.3 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Hey Mark, I read those articles and found out that I just had to change my px to dpi and everything was okay as I was using relative layout already. Thank you so much, once again!
