Today’s topic: How to modify my APK from mobile to tablet version easily?

Here we issue a frequent case might happen when we try to develop the apk without resolution problem.

Case: Unusual UI display may happen when an application runs on specific screen size and resolutions. Please see the illustration as below.


Unusual UI display illustration

Why? It might because the SDK version that you develop for your APK is Android 1.5 or older version. The Android 1.5 was designed for single screen size, and the resolution is HVGA 320x480 on 3.2" screen. However, the Android 1.6 and above is not in the case since Android 1.6 supports a range of screen sizes and resolutions for Android application development, which means it gives developers a little control over applications. With the variety screen sizes and resolutions, you just have to simply choose the desire screen size and resolution for your APK in other words your application will definitely fits the screen size with appropriate resolution you would likely to show.

How to do it?
Key Point: Upgrade your Android 1.5 to 1.6.

Steps:

  1. Go to Eclipse and right click your project.→Properties→Android→Change Android 1.5 to 1.6 in the Project Build Target.
  2. Modify the set up in the AndroidManifest.xml
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" android:targetSdkVersion="4"/>
    If necessary, specify the screen size in the <supports-screens>
  3. To re-build and test.

Notice: android:minSdkVersion="3" means the minimum requirement of SDK is 1.5, that is, you can still install the application on Android 1.5 devices. Of course, you have to ensure that your program code don’t have the API only support after Android 1.6 version or the API forbidden by Android 1.6.
