My app was written for the G1 by a friend on a correspondingly early version of the SDK back when the G1 was the only Android handset, and it doesn't scale up to full screen on the bigger phones. It might be the case that they've released autoscaling and it just wasn't around when it was developed, or it might just be that he used the SDK improperly and neglected some existing autoscaling options.
- valley_guy_12 15y agoYes, as you guessed, the problem you're seeing is because the app was developed for a very early version of the Android API. Here's how to fix the app (requires a recompile): http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/optimizing-for-3.0.html http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/optimizing-for-... "If your [applications] manifest file has either android:minSdkVersion or android:targetSdkVersion set to "4" or higher, then the Android system will scale your application's layout and assets to fit the current device screen, whether the device screen is smaller or larger than the one for which you originally designed your application. As such, you should always test your application on real or virtual devices with various screen sizes and densities."
- ericd 15y agoAwesome, thanks - I'll take a look at doing this.
