What screen filters to use for 480 x 320 and smaller

Question

I want to publish two .apks of my application on the android market so I can support a smaller apk for older devices. I understood that I have to use different filters in my AndroidManifest file. I have two versions of my program, one for screens 480 x 320 and smaller (320 x 240), and one for any other screen bigger than 480 x 320. But I'm a little confused, what's the best filter to use: screen density or screen size. And what is the size of 480 x 320? Maybe android:normalScreens, but I'm not quite sure. Thanks in advance!

But I'm a little confused, what's the best filter to use: screen density or screen size

If you have resources for all the screen densities in their respective folders, you don't need to set the density filter, size filter will do.

And what is the size of 480 x 320? Maybe android:normalScreens, but I'm not quite sure

Yes.

Answer 2

It seems to me the layout-small folder is for 320*240 screens.

Also, you can try another folder : layout-small-notlong-ldpi.
