AVD Manager and what layout variant for Samsung Galaxy 4 and other new phones

[moster67]

I am starting to get some reports about some small layout-issues with Samsung Galaxy 4 which is a full HD (4.9 inches, resolution = 1080x1920 with approximately 441 ppi density). I think there are now other new phones with similar screen-specs so it would now be a good opportunity to make sure our apps display correctly on these phones.

I created a specific device profile in AVD as follows for Samsung Galaxy S4

Screen-size: 4.9
Resolution (pix): 1080 x 1920
Size: normal
Screen ratio: long
Density: xxhdpi

I attach an image for ease of reference.

I am just wondering if this is a correct set-up to simulate the Galaxy S4? Can someone confirm? I checked one of my app and it looked OK using these settings but I am unsure since some users mentioned some layout-issues on their Samsung Galaxy S4 phones which I cannot reproduce using above settings.

Also if I want to create a new layout-variant specific for testing Galaxy S4, what parameters would you use?

When running AVD with above settings, GetDeviceLayoutValues in B4A returns:

1080-1824 Scale 2.0 (320 dpi)

Are these the correct values for Samsung Galaxy S4 to use when setting up a new layout variant?

Thanks.

According to the screen size (5'') and the resolution the scale should be 2.75.

First note that there is a Galaxy S4 now in the UI cloud. So you can test your layout on a real Galaxy S4. The S3 screen size is similar to the HTC One X. You can see its specifications in the UI cloud.
