Yes ofcourse. You will have to create two versions of xml files and put in layout-port and layout-land folder inside res folder. eg : res/layout [Portrait Mode; default] main.xml res/layout-land [Landscape Mode] main.xml You can refer further more on the same at http://developer.android.com/training/basics/supporting-devices/screens.html
This prevents access on tablets, but allows the new density buckets (xxhdpi and xxxhdpi) and avoids errors on projects that are compiled against lower SDKs. It should be a direct child of the <manifest> element in AndroidManifest.xml <compatible-screens> <!– all small size screens –> <screen android:screenSize=”small” android:screenDensity=”ldpi” /> <screen android:screenSize=”small” android:screenDensity=”mdpi” /> <screen android:screenSize=”small” android:screenDensity=”hdpi” … Read more
Finally after 2 days of searching and testing, i finally managed to find out what’s the real issue here.. All those above coding will give correct resolution. But the most important this is that we need to mention the target SDK in the manifest file.. Otherwise it will give wrong result if the density is … Read more
From the answer of Ahmed, this is full code without error: int width = 0, height = 0; final DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics(); Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay(); Method mGetRawH = null, mGetRawW = null; try { // For JellyBean 4.2 (API 17) and onward if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) { display.getRealMetrics(metrics); width = metrics.widthPixels; height … Read more
I just did something very similar. To stretch the app without creating new layouts I used dimensions set in XML res/values/dimensions.xml res/values-sw600dp/dimensions.xml -> 7+ inches res/values-sw720dp/dimensions.xml -> 10+ inches Dimensions are resources files: <dimen name=”default_padding”>11dp</dimen> You can increase the dimensions by about 30% in the 600 and 720 file. Then simply used @dimen/default_padding in your … Read more
try this code to get screen size in inch DisplayMetrics dm = new DisplayMetrics(); getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(dm); int width=dm.widthPixels; int height=dm.heightPixels; double wi=(double)width/(double)dm.xdpi; double hi=(double)height/(double)dm.ydpi; double x = Math.pow(wi,2); double y = Math.pow(hi,2); double screenInches = Math.sqrt(x+y);
How do I force the Nexus to use resources in drawable-xhdpi and then the 10 inch tab to use drawable-xxhdpi? You can’t. The qualifiers hdpi,xhdpi,xxhdpi describes the screen density of the device, not the size of screen. From the official doc Screen density The quantity of pixels within a physical area of the screen; usually … Read more
Copy and paste this code into your Activity and when it is executed it will Toast the device’s screen size category. int screenSize = getResources().getConfiguration().screenLayout & Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_MASK; String toastMsg; switch(screenSize) { case Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_LARGE: toastMsg = “Large screen”; break; case Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_NORMAL: toastMsg = “Normal screen”; break; case Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_SMALL: toastMsg = “Small screen”; break; default: toastMsg = … Read more
