Layout variants on HTC Flyer

[Dataverde]

Hey,

i try to scale up my layout for the 7" 600x1024 scale 1 screen of the HTC Flyer.
I made a new layoutvariant with that specifications but when i run the app it clearly uses one of the other layouts(480x800 scale 1.5 and 480x854 scale 1.5) so that only a small part of the screen is used.

Any suggestions on that?
is there a way to force it to use a variant by code?

Greetings,
Lennart

I don't think the Flyer has 160dpi...

Maybe copy the code, remove the other layouts and leave only the Flyer one.. See what happens then.

The designer tells me it is scale = 1 (160 dpi) when i connect the device with the designer. So if the device itself returns a wrong scale maybe thats the error.

I´ll try deleting the other layouts.

The device scale is 160dpi.

Hi

Any examples ?

The emulator should be set to 600x1024 with dpi=160 (scale = 1).

See this page in the Documentation Wiki.

Also note on that page that a layout which fits a Flyer perfectly will also fit the 7" Galaxy Tab which is also 1024x600, but a tablet like the Archos 70 which is 800x480 will cut off some of the 1024x600 layout for the simple reason that it doesn't have as many pixels to use and since they are both considered to have a scale of 1, Android will not resize the layout.

To fix that problem, see this post.

Not that I'm familiar with. Try searching for it, maybe HTC provide such a skin.

Please start a new thread as it is not related to the layout.

You should check the logs for the error message.
