如何设计适用于所有设备的android应用程序的UI？

Question

I am developing android applications from last four months, but still i am not able to design UI which will support for maximum screens. What should be my ideal layout and drawable structure and what is the good way should i follow to achieve it. Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I'll quote the top answer of this thread which is pretty much equal to your question.

That may not be possible. However you can look at these links and learn how to provide different images(pixels and density), layouts and further on. It may not be possible to make a userinterface on a low level density screen the same way as a high density screen and then you can target different layouts to different phones eg

Providing Resources

Application Resources

You should also have a look at this: Best practice supporting multiple screens .

Although it is possible you should focus on a few main densities/screen sizes which you will support. Test these and make sure they work as you want them to do. It will be very much work to support all varieties and may not pay off because only few phones use specific sizes.

Answer 2

Well the best way to do that will be: the same icon with different sizes and put them in order in the(these are order from smaller sizes to bigger sizes):

• mdpi
• ldpi
• hdpi
• xhdpi

Th OS will automatically get you the best icon to fit the screen. Obviously if you want to run your apps in tablets as well it will be extremely hard to achieve a layout that can be compatible with thousands of devices available on the market. For that you can create different layout folders and create several of them for different screen sizes.

For more info you should definitely see this dev page: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html

Hope this helps

Answer 3

Use RelativeLayout or LinearLayout with weights. So that you get same view on most on screens. You can use one copy of images with good resolution in drawable folder that can adjust on most screens or different sizes images in different drawable folders but its increase your app size. But its always good practise to create layout depend on different sizes and some layouts based on height and width.
