Question

How do I set an android app to be for handset only? I don’t want my app to be available for tablets as the UI wouldn’t really work for that large of a screen.

Answer 1

You must put all compatability information in your android manifest. If you do this, the android market will only show your app to devices that meet your requirements.

<compatible-screens>

    <screen android:screenSize="small" android:screenDensity="ldpi" />
    <screen android:screenSize="small" android:screenDensity="mdpi" />
    <screen android:screenSize="small" android:screenDensity="hdpi" />
    <screen android:screenSize="small" android:screenDensity="xhdpi" />

    <screen android:screenSize="normal" android:screenDensity="ldpi" />
    <screen android:screenSize="normal" android:screenDensity="mdpi" />
    <screen android:screenSize="normal" android:screenDensity="hdpi" />
    <screen android:screenSize="normal" android:screenDensity="xhdpi" />
</compatible-screens>

Just tweak it to your likings.
