What are the basics for creating a web page for a mobile device? I’m developing a simple page with a table and several links, but when I open it with my Android phone it is too small, and I have to zoom in to see it clearly. Normally when I access a page ready for mobile devices I can see it fairly clearly to begin with.
How can I do that?
Cheers.
You can start by adjusting your CSS rules and using the right meta tags:

That will solve the resizing problem.
For further references you can read some chapters of this book:

which is aimed to develop webapps for iPhone, but (since iPhone and Android both use webkit browsers) can be very useful for Android too.
If you want to build rich-featured web app you can then take a look at PhoneGap http://www.phonegap.com/
