Android Question Problems with tablet download in play store

GabrielHerrmann · Oct 19, 2013

Hello together,
I'm a new programmer which using b4a - it is a very nice platform with many good features

Now I have a problem with tablets on publish the app inside google play store.
When looking at the Google Store, the app is only found on smartphones and not by tablets.

In the Developer Console, I get the following message:
Your APK Should include custom Drawables assets for common tablet screen densities.

For your information:
I created the layout of different sizes on the designer. If I will install the app directly on a tablet and everything displayed correctly. And my pictures used according to the requirement for xhdpi. Some pictures was inside TabHost without text.

Unfortunately, I don't know what I shall to do...

Many thanks for your help.

I also read it. It should be simple to use the whole available space with the new anchors feature. Give it a try.

Hello Erel,
Yes, I carefully read this tutorial.
In fact, I managed to publish my app for tablet making "NOT REQUIRED" telephony and camera.
In addition, I also tried to create the icon in the "drawable-hdpi".
In any case my app is not designed for the tablet.

You gave looked at my app?
From what I read on the net, it seems that the problem is related to too much blank space left in the various activity.
Do you think it possible?

Hello

Add to your manifest: android:xlargeScreens="true"

For the first image, both 7 and 10 inches, try to fill the free space with images, for example if you have a menu or anything.

In my case, to accept my pictures, i used the options of a panels,.
I leave an example, the first was not accepted and the second is accepted

Thank you very much MLC.
At the time I did not modifying the app.
I have only used as a screenshot pages fuller and colorful.
The message in the Developer Console is gone.
In a few hours I check if the app is included in the app "designed for tablet".
I will let you know.

I can not believe.
The message in the Developer Console was gone.
Now reappeared.
Maybe there is a visual inspection by any employee of Google?

I really can not understand.
In the Developer Console now there are no more errors.
In the manifest file, the entries "android:largeScreens" and "android:xlargeScreens" are True.
I added all the folders Drawable with various resolutions (drawable-hdpi with 72x72, drawable-xhdpi with 96x96, drawable-xxhdpi with 144x144).
In fact my phone Samsung S4 shows the 144x144 icon.
Why my app on my tablet is not in the list of app "Designed for tablet"?

Is there anyone who can help me to understand?

Does your layout fill the entire space?

festez · May 2, 2014

Yes Erel.
However, after the latest changes, my app is in the app "designed for tablet"

Thank you so much to everyone for the tips.
