I thought it was due to too many graphics, but I did some more digging and found the issue. Now I have 160dpi graphics and no problems. Thanks All. http://www.arcdroid.com On Sep 15, 7:10 am, Kostya Vasilyev kmans...@gmail.com wrote: Did you ever consider finding out why it's crashing and

160dpi is mdpi. Android does not use 90dpi, so I am having a hard time understanding what you are saying. Anyway, how about fixing whatever in your app is crashing? :} On Wed, Sep 14, 2011 at 8:47 PM, ArcDroid jacobrjohn...@gmail.com wrote: Correct it is a mdpi. The problem I have is that my

That is what I thought initially, simply put the higher res graphics in the drawables-hdpi folder. The problem is on my Acer 10 tablet the only way I can get the good graphics to show is using drawables- xlarge since the tablet for some reason won't use drawables-hdpi. On Sep 14, 3:58 am, Mark

Correct it is a mdpi. The problem I have is that my app crashes if i use 160dpi graphics so using 90dpi looks ok on a phone, but poor on a tablet. Hence the only solution I have found is to use the drawable- xlarge for the larger screens. On Sep 14, 6:30 am, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.com

If you are writing drawable-large, you are almost certainly doing it wrong. On Tue, Sep 13, 2011 at 6:02 AM, ArcDroid jacobrjohn...@gmail.com wrote: So it appears I need to have the same higher res images in drawable- hdpi and drawable-large buckets. This is going to make the install big if
