How to fit grafics to different screen resolutions - Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics

Hello,
i have developed a little app with grafics, It looks good on my HTC Sense, but it is very small on a Galaxy S4. How do you fit grafics to different screen resolutions?

Thank you, sir! I was running into the exact same problem and happily stumbled into this forum with the same question.
I appreciate the direct links!

Try to use fill parent for android and use different image sizes for ldpi ,mdpi , hdpi ,xhdpi

[Q] About HDPI/MDPI/LDPI Devices

I'm a newbie...I saw some app that said" designed for HDPI/MDPI Devices , not for LDPI devices (ADW honeycomb theme).I don't know what type wildfire is???. So can someone just explain me what are HDPI, MDPI , LDPI devices, and how do we know what type off devices our phone is.
My English is very bad . I'm a Vietnamese, sorry
Use Google.

oh.. I just know
Just for everyone who don't know::::
LDPI:Low density (120).Small screen :QVGA (240x320),Normal screen: WQVGA400 (240x400),WQVGA432 (240x432)
MDPI:Medium density (160).Normal screen :HVGA (320x480),Large screen:WVGA800* (480x800),WVGA854* (480x854)
HDPI:High density (240).Normal screen :WVGA800 (480x800)
WVGA854 (480x854)
DPI -- dots/pixels per inch
HDPI -- high dots per inch (similarly low and medium for ldpi and mdpi)
-- two displays with same resolution and different screen sizes have different DPI's.
WILDFIRE (LDPI):
dpi = 120 dots per inch
screen size = 3.2 inch diagnol = 2 inch vertical x 2.66 inch horizontal
120 x 2 = 240 (vertical resolution)
120 x 2.66 = 320 (horizontal resolution)........ CHEERS
[correct me if im wrong]

This is a forum, he asked for help. If you don't know or don't want to help, keep quiet.
I used google to find about that, and the first site was here, lucky me, we had a second fellow with good will to answer it.

The thing is, that answer is perfectly acceptable. If you have any questions, the first place you go is Google. At least, that's what I do. Most results found on Google are reliable, and you can usually tell the reliable sources from the unreliable.
Sometimes there's no answer at all on Google. I've found this here cause I couldn't find it there. I bet the guy tried it before too. Is it so hard to stay quiet when you don't want to help? I'm sure that bx19 and mtnhan1996 spent no more than 5 minutes to answer this. Just my 2 cents...
Thank you for the info, bx19 and mtnhan1996!

First result on google when searching "hdpi, mdpi, ldpi" is this: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
Scroll down and bam, there`s the answer.
Oh, and that page is old as ****, I remember reading it two years ago.

my One X review

Hello all, I know traditionally i only review samsung devices as a samsung mobiler i've decided to branch out a bit and share the love. So here's my review on the One x. Let me know what you think, i'm always taking your comments on board and trying to make my content better.
Out of interest it was filmed on a canon Eos 1100D rather than my galaxy s2 for a change. Hopefully you can tell the difference
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8JwiCQlxhg&feature=youtu.be
and a video of the two flavours of ICS on the galaxy nexus and the one X
http://youtu.be/V4Gidj5dEic
I also took some photos from different angles of the one x...find them at my blog here:
http://staceysamsungmobiler.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/htc-one-x.html
Here's a quick comparison of the screen on the Galaxy Nexus vs HTC one x. Which do you prefer?
http://staceysamsungmobiler.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/super-amoled-vs-super-ips-lcd2.html
Good to see a Samsung Mobiler here enjoyed views of the SGS2. Nice review you'll enjoy the device

Nice review Stacey!
I thought Mobilers always had access to the Samsung devices prior to general public. I clearly remember Dom and you had the SGS2 long (weeks/days) before the general public. Both of you guys had a popular thread before release of the SGS2 during last April/May.
Hey, PM me a photo of the SGS3 and the specs list...Trust me, I won't tell anyone!
Good reviews there and i love your english. Hope i will talk like that someday.
One thing to the Multitask. The thing you reviewed on the One X as Taskmanager ist the taskmanager. Its just a graphic gimmik to show main threads and easily jump from one to another. Search on the device applist for Taskmanager and then you see your real tasks and up to 9 tasks at once.
I realy love my One X but i think all Sense gimmiks are just made to look good. Usability is just on 2nd rank. For much Sense widgets i use alternatives.
nice review
thank you

Ahhyes ! I found it. Please I'll add a note to the description of the video. Thanks for pointing it out
A good video, just one word of advice:
When you want to show something on the screen, dont move the phone closer to the camera, it makes the image blurry.
Best is to just keep it the way it is, so that the image stays sharp and then once you're editing the video zoom in digitally!
That'll make the screen more readable
Thanka for the feed back, seriously guys this all helps me for when I make my next . My next purchase is a proper tripod for my camera lol
also added a quick comparison of super amoled vs super ips LCD2...see 1st post for url

Share your favorite WALLPAPERS

Hi guys! I have spent many hours trying to find the nicest wallpapers. However, even if a wallpaper looked good, it didnt always necessarily look nice once set as wallpaper on the ONE X. So here i am trying to get as many wallpapers that are pleasing to the eye once set.
Before posting there is just one rule i want to add to this thread.
-the wallpaper you used must have at least been used by you once... only post if you've actually used it before.
The reason being,at least in my experience is just because a wallpaper looks good, doesn't necessarily mean it will look nice once applied.
Here, my ALL-TIME favorite.Coco-beans ..This IMO is beautiful, apply it and check for yourself, the colors are awesome. When i first used it i really had it on for quite some time, but as time goes by you want something new:
The one of the beach is also nice
I can't download the beans or share my screenshot, is that cos I'm still limited being a newbie or doing something wrong?

Not sure to be honest, sounds like a possibility though? But as far as i am aware you don't even have to be registered xda member to download files so i don't get it. . .
try this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lefpzf5pxhikc0f/Coco Beans_24 (1).jpg
Gives me the option to save via tapatalk, but nothing is on the sd card and I can't see the pic in that reply either?

[Q]Display question

Hey,sorry for making a new topic just for one question but in the existing one nobody is posting anymore,i've recently bought
a galaxy nexus and when i was looking through the settings i noticed a strange texture coming from the right part but the weird thing
is that this seems to be the only problem,i've seen that other people seem to have similar issues but some say it is a common problem for
this type of pentile display,i started checking the main topic about what's right and what not-nexus screens and i couldn't find any other
problems,it's not bothering me or something but i just wanted to be sure it is normal.
The Pictures yu have posted are not giving a proper meaning of your "Strange Texture" to me at least.
I would recommend you post the Screen Shots instead....

Request custom bootanimations

Hi, I am a fan of custom bootanimations and I recently found out how to create my own. I liked doing it alot and creating each frame of it.
There are probably a lot of people who would love a custom bootanimation of their own, and I would love to help create those, because I have no idea what I could make.
So, if you have a good idea, leave it here and I'll make it for ya.

Hi there,
I am not sure what your limitations are so if im asking too much for what i want then please just say so. Im no artist or any good with Photoshop stuff but i have always wanted:
Gary C in the top half of the screen in holo blue with the C underneath Gary and the Leeds United badge in the bottom half. Now here comes the tricky bit. I would like it to appear as if it is sand or particles been blown in to make my name and the badge.
Is this possible? If not its fine, its just something ive wanted for awhile and i couldnt possibly do it myself as the best i draw are stick men haha. I just saw your thread so thought i would ask
Regards,
Gary,

Erm, I never really thought about that. I've got a font called Sony sketch installed on my phone from rom toolbox, so something simlar to that if possible.

Allright, got the font, the text, the badge, and then the background... have anything in mind? Sand on the beach and then water waving the stuff up?
