POAndroid Tablet Zoom option missing
text
Body
copied!<p>I've developed an android application whose GUI is designed for small screens. When run on a tablet it looks rubbish because I've assumed 320dp width to make my life easier - I don't have the resources to test on tablets.</p> <p>People using android 3.2 were able to zoom into the app so it looks like it's running on a big phone. But after my last update that option is not available, and I don't understand why.</p> <p>The change is related to the Manifest file. Here's what my orignal app had (there's nothing to do with screens in my Manifest):</p> <pre><code><uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" /> </code></pre> <p>After updating my development environment, I got a warning saying I should specify a target sdk, so I did this:</p> <pre><code><uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" android:targetSdkVersion="10" /> </code></pre> <p>Using a painfully slow Android 3.2 emulator I have confirmed that this has caused the problem. I thought any target SDK below 11 wouldn't affect the zooming option?</p> <p>Using the following also removed the zoom option:</p> <pre><code><uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" android:targetSdkVersion="9" /> </code></pre> <p>But this didn't:</p> <pre><code><uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" android:targetSdkVersion="8" /> </code></pre> <p>So setting my target SDK to 8 is a workaround, but it's also wrong because I use version 2.3.3 for testing.</p> <p>Am I missing something here? Is there a better solution?</p> <p>Thanks.</p>
