In this article titled "Supporting Tablets and Handsets" they explain fundamental approach to Android design. In future, designing just for phones or just for tablets is not an option. All apps should be designed and built from the beginning to scale to all screens.
So I urge you to head to this URL http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/tablets-and-handsets.html and take few minutes to read it though carefully. It is time well spent. I promise.
Hi there, Very interesting material, I guess we should all be prepared for this new moment on Android's life. ICS comes for a reson after all and I'd say that this "fusion" between tablets and mobiles interfaces is the one of the principal reason.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I've been following your blog for a few months now and I'm developing an application and trying to apply the patterns and tips.
Your material is really good and I'd like to congratulate for the blog!
Eduardo, yeah exactly! This approach they are taking could actually turn the "fragmentation" into a powerful tool in the ecosystem. People just need to understand that building an Android app requires a scalable approach from the beginning. If that is done correctly reward is that the app runs in hundreds of different devices.
