Apps Scale game to screen size

[oriz]

Hello, i am developing application on android but i have a problem, how can i fit my app to every screen size and also tablets?

I mean if i have images in the game and background so lets say it looks fine on galaxy s3 but on tablet it will look very small , how can i make the app scale itself to the screen without hurting the image and background looks.

Tanks!

There is no universal answer to that. You need to detect the size on each device and resize your bitmaps according to the screen. In some apps it's easier to have one big bitmap and resize it, in other apps it's better to keep several sizes in app and use the closest one in particular case.

If yes so what engine do you recommend?

I would recommend OpenFL, it's my favorite! An excellent language (Haxe), very friendly community, ability to compile to a range of devices and platforms and many more.

Well, Unity doesn't use Java neither - it utilizes C# and JS.
In this case I wound recommend this engine: AndEngine - Free Android 2D OpenGL Game Engine
