Do I need 14 different layouts to support all Android devices?

Question

I\'m really feeling confused. From the docs at developer.android.com, it seems in order to keep my images scaled correctly (aspect ratio too) across all current Android dev

Answer 1

In the layout if you do not use AbsoluteLayout, you application is going to be resized to fit the screen.

But in some cases, for smaller screens you need declare a new layout with less components for example.

For images:

You has some options.

Simple ignore some resolutions and let the device choose the best image to it. Declare on AndroidManifest for wich sizes you want to support. Or has just one and let the resize screw your application.
