AndAR and AndAR model viewer not visible in the market for QVGA devices #9

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Hi,

The applications AndAR and AndAR model viewer are not visible on the market. 

After reading a little on the android documentation I read the market filters 
for QVGA devices all  
applications that explicitely do not declare that are compatible with small and 
low resolutions.

They say that should be necesray to modify the AndroidManifest.xml to declare 
explicitely the 
compatibility with QVGA devices:

<supports-screens android:smallScreens=["true" | "false"] 
                  android:normalScreens=["true" | "false"] 
                  android:largeScreens=["true" | "false"] 
                  android:anyDensity=["true" | "false"] />

I cannot test it on my eclipse because I have problems to mount  the project, 
to make work the 
source code

the

No, sorry but I still cannot see the application on the market...

If you tried then with: 

  <supports-screens
          android:largeScreens="true"
          android:normalScreens="true"
          android:smallScreens="true"
          android:anyDensity="true" />

seems something more is needed... I will try to investigate it!

(QVGA resolution too).

At http://developer.android.com/google/play/filters.html : "For applications 
that set either the android: minSdkVersion or android: targetSdkVersion to 3 or 
lower, the <supports-screens> element itself is undefined and no attributes are 
available. In this case, Google Play assumes that the application is designed 
for normal-size screens and shows the application to devices that have normal 
or larger screens." .  minSDKVersion is to 3.  So, it sounds like Google Play 
will filter this application on our small-screen devices.

However, the next paragraph: "When the either the android: minSdkVersion or 
android: targetSdkVersion is set to 4 or higher, the default for all attributes 
is "true". In this way, the application is considered to support all screen 
sizes by default.", and a couple paragraphs ahead: "Example 2: The manifest 
declares <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" android:targetSdkVersion="4"> and 
does not include a <supports-screens> element. Result: Google Play will show 
the app to users on all devices, unless other filters apply."

Hence, AndAR should not include a <supports-screens> element, and if the screen 
size is still filtered on, it is a bug in google play which can probably be 
worked around by setting minSdkVersion="4".
