Question

Can anyone tell me if the Kindle Fire's density is mdpi, hdpi, or xhdpi and whether its screen is large, or xlarge, as per http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html?

Was it helpful?

Solution

All Kindle Fire information can be found here : https://developer.amazon.com/help/faq.html#KindleFire

We are treating it as a large/mdpi screen just like the Nook Color.

OTHER TIPS

In my experience, Android reports xlarge size, even though it's 7" and 1024x600.

With this in mind, I had to short-circuit the built-in layout choosing mechanism, and choose the right layout in code, based on the device's logical pixel width (smaller dimension, to be precise). Late versions of Android support the same out of the box, but who'd want to lose backwards compatibility?
