I know you're locking down on cheap devices such as aPads. But I own one, and I know that its screen is stretched (800x480) while it seems like the screen *should* technically be able to display 854x480 (as looking at the hardware, it's obvious that the screen was designed with a 16:9 aspect ratio, unlike the 5:3 ratio that it has right now). Is there any way I can force the tablet to use a different resolution (i.e. 854x480 or FWVGA) instead of the one it uses now (800x480 or WVGA). I haven't yet found anything other than about screen densities and apps to change densities. But this issue doesn't seem to change the aspect ratio. The page here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/DisplayMetrics.html seems like something I'm interested in. Anyone able to guide me what I should do with this? I'd like someone to actually understand my problem instead of blindly steering me here: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html I've had a lot of people sending me to the screens_support.html page and it's getting a bit annoying ;) Should this change be incorporated into an app that changes the resolution after bootup each time? Or can I set some sort of environment variables that makes the native resolution be set to FWVGA instead of the WVGA it's set to now?
Truth is, I love this tablet and I think that these have a wider active user base than the more expensive tablets. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
