Hi all... I'm developing an app and frequently testing on a device, rather than emulator. It's so very quick to build and launch, I love it.
Now that the layout is becoming more mature in the app, I've found components appearing differently than I expected. This wasn't so obvious first since I was using layout_width/height: fill_parent or match_parent and wrap_content. Now when I need to use specific values in dp or px, I have discovered this: the mobile device with a 3.5" screen @ 480x800 is using drawable resources from: res/drawable-mdpi/ and ignoring res/drawable-hdpi/ And another strange thing, and must be from the same source of problem, it is correctly using layout xml files from: res/layout-normal/ but, from within this layout-normal, it takes a LinearLayout with 90px (or 90dp, behaves same way for both dp/px) and renders the component to the real physical screen with a dimension of 135px. My desired size is 90 pixels on this dpi, so if I set the android:layout_height="60px" then it comes out looking great at 90px. The mdpi -> hdpi conversion is x1.5, and that's the same scale factor happening here. I'm totally confused why, and have put time into searching the documentation. Haven't found the solution. Btw, this is an Acer Liquid E phone, with 2.2 on it! Thanks in advance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
