How to support different screen size in android

Question

I\'m developing an app in android and I have to support all different screen sizes and density. So i\'ve created different folder for layout : layout-small layout-larg

Answer 1

You can figure out the dimensions of the screen dynamically

Display mDisplay= activity.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
int width= mDisplay.getWidth();
int Height= mDisplay.getHeight();

The layout can be set using the width and the height obtained using this method.

Adding to @ud_an

It is not a good practice to create different folders for layouts. Create your layout such that it works fine with all the screen sizes. To achieve this, play with the layout attributes. You only need to have different images for hdpi, mdpi and ldpi types. The rest will be managed by android OS.

Answer 3

you can create bitmaps for the highes resolution / size your application will run and resize them in the code (at run time)
