Question

Right now I have an application I built that is built for android 10.1 inch screens (tablet) and I would like to to be able to be scaled so that it work on the kindle fire (7 inch screen). What would the easiest way to do this be?

Edit:
So I’ve taken the advise that the majority of the people in this tread have given and replaced all of the absolute layouts with relative layouts and I am using margins left,right,top,bottom, to place them, but still the button images are too large and they are misplaced, how can i do this so it works correctly?

Answer 1

There are some design criterias for developing android applications to make them work in different configurations like screen size:

1. use different layouts for different configurations
2. use fill_parent and wrap content properties in layouts
3. do not give hard coded pixel values
4. do not use absolute layout
5. provide different drawables for different configurations
