Question

I am making an app for a tablet which has a resolution of 1280 x 800, and I want custome graphics for it. But when i took a screenshot of the screen the resolution was 1024×600, why is this? What size background image would I make?!

As mentionned here : http://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/DisplayMetrics.html
if you want the pixel of your screen, you can write

DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);

and then, you can call :

int width = metrics.widthPixels;
int height = metrics.heightPixels;
