[android-developers] Releasing a tablet-only application
I'm close to releasing a tablet-only application and I'm wondering what steps I need to take to ensure it's only available to Android 3.0 devices. Is it really a matter of setting the minimum SDK level to 11? When the next version of Android comes out that has an SDK level of 12, but it's only for tablets, how will I need to change my manifest to hide the app from phones? -- Chris Stewart http://chriswstewart.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Releasing a tablet-only application
API 12 may be for phones only, or for phones and tablets, or there may be a version of Android that runs on phones and still has API level 11. At this point, it's just not public knowledge. So - IMO, filtering by API level is not sufficient. Adding a filter for support-screens / only xlarge with or without large would probably be a little more future-proof, and you can always tweak it later. -- Kostya 23.03.2011 18:33, Chris Stewart пишет: I'm close to releasing a tablet-only application and I'm wondering what steps I need to take to ensure it's only available to Android 3.0 devices.

For now that's HoneyComb and for now that's tablets only, but I wouldn't rely on that. Use the supports-screens element of the manifest and indicate the screen type you want to support (however you define a tablet). - TreKing http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
