I originally wrote a (portrait only) application for the HTC Desire 800x400 display. I used the Designer variant of 400x800,scale = 1.5 (240dpi). It works fine on the target device as well as in my AVD of the same settings.
After layout completion I later added the 480x320 scale=1,160dpi option and all the dimensions look right.
Recently a colleague installed the app on a Samsung Galaxy Mini (GT-S5570) which is 240x320 and when he ran the app I guess the 480x320 layout was loading as he could not see the bottom of the screen. Understandable as this device has a different aspect ratio.... although if I get the variant values correct I could squeeze the views to fit.
I would like to create a variant for the (GT-S5570) device for this app. I understand the target platform it is 240x320 hw.lcd.density = 180 so have created an AVD with those values. In the designer there is no option for 240x320 so it is a manual entry but at what scale ??? I have tried several values so far but the AVD only ever appears to display the top left 240x320 portion of a 480x800 image!
I feel I am missing something fundamental here. Anybody help?
