Targeting Different Specs In Android App Submission

We're working on a port of an iPhone game to Android. One of the additional hurdles with this is all the different device resolutions Android has. We're having our art team rework

Solution 1:

You don't have to do extensive job to support every possible screen size, you only need to make resources for several configurations and Android will do the rest. The major concept here is that there are several screen densities you have to support. Once you've made a resource for each density, Android will automatically use an appropriate resource for the specific device. You only upload a single application for all the devices.

You should read an article on supporting multiple screens and also on providing resources.

Solution 2:

I have not seen such an option while uploading my own applications to the market. This is a good/official explanation of how to program to various screen resolutions.

If it is impossible for your to package all of your resolution-specific resources into the app, you can download the images from your servers after the initial start-up of the app. At that point, you'll be able to grab the screen resolution details and only download what you need.
