Hi,
I want to make universal build(application) that should support mentioned resolution devices :
like

320X480,
480X800,
480X854 and
540 x 960.

I want to use the same Image resources. According to the developer site, I tried both mentioned naming convension for res folder but unfortunately all devices are taking layout resources from res/layout (default) only. I dont know why it is taking from here while I made separate layout folder for each view.

res/layout,
res/layout-small
res/layout-large

OR,

res/layout,
res/layout-ldpi,
res/layout-mdpi,
res/layout-hdpi.


I tried both way, still having the same problem.

Please help to resolve it.


Thanks in Advance,
Andy

Hi,
Thanks for the fast response but problem is that, can 480X800 resolution application will work for both resolution(480X800 and 480X854), bez both are taking images resources from the same res folder like "res/drawable-hdpi" and for XML "res/layout-hdpi". When you're running 480x800 build on 480x854, there should be empty space of 54 pixels at the bottom. Can we make the build in such a way that the view will come proper without the 54 pixel gap?

I have already checked that Android site for multiresolution but I found nothing regarding it.

Please help me ???


Thanks in Advance!!!
