Android manifest that will support Galaxy S4, HTC One

Question

Im trying to create Android manifest that Google Play will show to Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One and so on since current one doesn't list those in compatible devices list.

I did search Stack Overflow, but all advices here didn't help me. Below is manifest that I am using for our app...

We tried also to remove complete <compatible-screens> and leave only <support-screens> but still no-go...

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

in my app i use this manifest (i changed the package and activity names):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.blabla"
    android:versionCode="8"
    android:versionName="1.6">

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" 
              android:targetSdkVersion="18"/>

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

    <application 
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" 
        android:label="@string/app_name">

        <activity
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:name="com.blabla.Activity"
            android:configChanges="orientation" >

            <intent-filter >
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>

        </activity>

        <activity
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:name="com.blabla.Optionen" >
        </activity>

    </application>
</manifest>

And the Google Play store says that it is compatible with > 4000 devices, HTC One an SGS4 are included.

I hope i understand your question right.

Answer 2

You can do this configurations on Android Developer Console, which will publish the app to only the devices you select.

Answer 3

I hope you are looking for this,

Change this in Manifest

<supports-screens
    android:anyDensity="true"
    android:largeScreens="true"
    android:normalScreens="true"
    android:smallScreens="true"
    android:xlargeScreens="true"        
/>

Only, this won't help. You want different image sizes, different layouts for different resolutions.

Edit:

http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html

You have to add differnt folder for different layout in res folder --> hdpi,mdpi,ldpi and for large screens you xhdpi(for Tablet) and large-hdpi or xlarge (for NXzoom). and also set Images and textsize different in different layout as per screensize.
