Description

Problem description

When an app is built for a tablet, at the startup of the app the system gives a warning that this app has not been made for the tablet device, and that it will stretch the contents to fit the screen. Also, there is an icon in the status bar to change this behavior to "zoom to fill screen" where everything looks pixelated.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create an app 2. Run it on a tablet (e.g. Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1) or use the emulator with WXGA800 resolution.

Note

Looks like you can avoid this issue by setting support for xlarge screens in AndroidManifest.xml: However, setting this makes the build fail, as this is supported only from SDK v9 and above, while our AndroidManifest.xml contains v7: target=android-7

I added this to my tiapp.xml: http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> 10 And that did the trick! I am not sure this is actually a bug, since in android 2.2 the support for xlargeScreens did not exist. Thanks!

@Davide, what Titanium SDK version are you using?
Davide Cassenti 2012-07-30

Closing as invalid. The issue can be avoided by adding the following line inside in tiapp.xml: 10

We have another customer facing similar issue as Maria, They are using Ti SDK 2.1.3GA. Any idea about the issue?

When keeping a custom AndroidManifest.xml, you must anyway specify this in tiapp.xml:

   <android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
   	<tool-api-level>10</tool-api-level>
   </android>

Unable to reproduce this with Titanium SDK 3.1.1.GA using android-10 (2.3).

Closing ticket as the issue cannot be reproduced and due to the above comments.
