Ok, I've spent the last few days working on my layouts, and I have everything looking good on small screens and normal screens. Now I'm tackling large screens.
However, the question I have is, how do we really know what a device reports itself as? For example, in the blog post about the Samsung tablet, it was stated that even though the tablet is 170dpi, it reports itself as "hdpi". So my question is then how can we really know, based on a a device's specs, what it is going to report itself to android as? Such as large, hdpi, normal, etc, In particular the Dell Streak is 5 inches, and has 187ppi. Is the Streak going to report itself as mdpi or hdpi. If it reports itself as mdpi will it still be considered "large"? Maybe we don't know the answers to this since even android 2.2 does not support really large screens well yet - but any more input is appreciated. I do have a layout working for the Samsung tablet specs, but obviously this layout would be too "large" for a dell streak layout (I'll be working on the layout to make it so it can resize more correctly though) But in order to test the different scenarios we need to know the actual specs of what the hardware will report itself as. The Samsung tablet appears to have "broken" convention and reports itself as something different than one would think. -niko -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
