We've added support for WVGA devices to the AndAppStore using the features from Donut and I'd recommend everyone interested in running their apps on WVGA devices takes a look at the donut SDK because there is a new manifest tag (supports-screens) which, if not used, can make your app look a bit rough.
If you don't use it the docs say "Based on the target device screen density, the Android framework will scale down assets by a factor of 0.75 (low dpi screens) or scale them up by a factor of 1.5 (high dpi screens)." and in our case that meant the icons in the app had zoom performed on them in order to scale them up for WVGA and it looked pretty fuzzy. We've also been told that on some builds of donut the display was limited to a HVGA portion of a WVGA screen with a big black border around it, but I'm not sure how up to date those builds were. The supports-screens manifest tag appears to be backwards compatible and doesn't cause problems for earlier devices. We're using it in the 1.4.6 version of the AndAppStore client and we've tested it on a few cupcake devices without any problems, and the 1.4.6 release is now public so if you want to test the compatibility you can grab it from http://tinyurl.com/aasclient Anyway, I thought I'd give you guys a heads up so when donut hits the streets you guys don't start wondering why you're getting comments like "The graphics are poor" or "Everything looks fuzzy". Hope it's' useful, Al. -- * Looking for Android apps?, try http://andappstore.com/ * ====== Funky Android Limited is registered in England & Wales with the company number 6741909.
