All Android devices are supported. It is easier to work with devices that support USB debugging, though you can also use B4A-Bridge and connect to any device over the local network.

Thanks. Are there any devices/screen sizes that I should not support? I don't want to waste time on layouts that are likely not being used any more.

The standard phone (similar to Galaxy 2, Galaxy Nexus and others) is the most common layout.

Do the devices with the slide out physical keyboard ever use the soft onscreen keyboard for input? I don't really want to support Landscape in my layouts but if that is the only way to input data then I will be forced to do that.

I can't answer your question exactly, but I do know that Android Best Practices discourage limiting your app to only one orientation.

I just bought an Android TV box that well ... runs off my LCD TV. It's a real pain having to rotate a 52 inch beast just to use a portrait only app ;-)

Unless of course your app targets a specific landscape and format. I am writing one that can ONLY be used in portrait and that is on a 10" tablet
