Question

My app has a problem with the S3 on Jelly Bean. The DisplayMetrics returns incorrect values (360 x 640).

Here is the code I use to get the display metrics.

DisplayMetrics dm = context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics();

I also ensured I had a minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion set in the Manifest (I noticed there was a similar issue registered that turned out to be a manifest problem)

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" android:targetSdkVersion="12" />

Note I get the correct metrics on all the other phones (that I know of) and also with an S3 on Ice Cream Sandwich.

Any ideas where I could be going wrong? I could make a special case for this phone, but I’d rather get to the bottom of the problem. Thanks!

Answer 1

Finally found the answer. My manifest had: –

<supports-screens
    android:anyDensity="false"
    android:largeScreens="true"
    android:normalScreens="true"
    android:smallScreens="true"
    >
</supports-screens>

I changed it to: –

<supports-screens
    android:anyDensity="true"
    android:largeScreens="true"
    android:normalScreens="true"
    android:smallScreens="true"
    android:xlargeScreens="true"
    >
</supports-screens>

Works fine now 🙂
