Making an Emulator for different screen resulutions

[mrossen]

Hi there,

I am not sure this is the right forum to ask this question.
But I an right sure there is one of you to answer the question.

I have made a project witch I have tested in the emulator with the WVGA800, WQVGA400, WVGA854 skin and the screen resulotion is perfect.

I have tested it on a HTC Sensation device and now the problem shows.
The screen is not filled out 100% verticaly.

Next I tried to made a Emulator for the HTC Sensation where the screen resolution is 540x960.

When I do this my app only fills out the screen by apox. 50%

Do any one knows to make skin for the emulator for this resolution?

In AVD Manager, you can create a new device, with the desired resolution.

EDIT: Sorry, I've don't understand your question. If you want to create a new Skin, you can copy some default skin. In the android-sdk folder, you can go to platforms\android-10 (by example), skins. Copy one folder and rename it "Sensation". In this folder, you'll find a file named "layout". Here you can define a new predefined skin with the desired resolution.

In AVD Manager, you can use the new skin.

(Sorry for my bad english)

Yes, thank you.

But when I create a new emulator here it seens not to fit the actual device.

I thought that I was doing some thing wrong.

I have done as you described.

But the layout file seems to be in another format that an text file ?

And, don't worry about your english. It is fine.

You can have a look at chapter 6.2 Generate a new Emulator in the Beginner's Guide to generate a new Emulator for a different resolution.

Best regards.

It's plain text. I've edited it using wordpad.

The problem is that you have to change other sizes, widths, etc, not only display resolution. It's a bit boring, but it's possible. You have to relocate keyboard (key by key), and the others controls.
