As most of you know, there are hundreds of different android devices, many with different screen sizes. I have noticed that lately, devices of screen around 4 inches have been classed as Large by BT. Is there any way to modify the BT code, so it thinks anything below 5 inches is a small device? I would like to use the large fields for a tablet version. I'm fairly sure it's possible, and any advice anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated. Cheers guys.

However, my device is still being recognised as a large device. I checked this by using a splash screen that was setup for small devices only. Is there somewhere else it has to be changed? Cheers guys.

I tested my app on two devices (Galaxy S and Galaxy Fit). The app looks perfect on my Galaxy S but app dose not fit properly on the screen on Galaxy Fit. Half of the portion of that app is not visible since the icons get bigger and capture the screen. javooooo, i would be grateful if you help me how to solve this problem.
