question

Hi JoeHz,

Thanks for posting! I corrected your link, I believe it had 2 URLs combined, it should be:

https://developer.amazon.com/public/resources/development-tools/ide-tools/tech-docs/testing-without-an-amazon-device

As for testing options and specs for all Amazon devices, please see this article:

I am still finding behavior that does not match the device (I have less screen real-estate to use on the actual device than in my emulator settings)

Maybe I'm making the same mistake over and over, but I think I'm creating it accurately. Please sanity check me -- What is wrong with these settings when trying to emulate the current 7" device?

(Apologies for the double post. Whoever is moderating the general android forum doesn't seem to approve posts on weekends)

Hi JoeHz,

Thanks for additional details. The resolution values you get back which seem smaller than the actual device's / hardware resolution, might be because your app's target or minimum SDK version is activating Screen Compatibility Mode. Normally, to resolve that, you can specify that your app supports any density screens, by adding this to your manifest:

<supports-screens android:anyDensity="true">

and then obtain the resolution with something like:

DisplayMetrics dm = new DisplayMetrics();
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(dm);
String resolution = dm.widthPixels + "x" + m.heightPixels;

Otherwise, please share the relevant parts from your Android manifest, and post a snippet of code where you try to get the resolution. Thanks!
