Can’t use android:xlargeScreens=“true”?

Question

I am making app for phones, but I wan’t them to be usable on tablets. I don’t know why can’t. I use this in my android manifest file:

android:xlargeScreens=\         


        

Answer 1

The problem is your minSdkVersion.

The xlargeScreens-attribute was introduced in API-Level 9. Since you specified that your application will probably run under API-Level 4, android can't find this attribute.

Change the minSdkVersion-attribute to 11 and it should work.

The targetSdkVersion-attribute, which you set to be 11 only indicates that the App was developed to target this version (so it's "recommended"), but the minSdkVersion specifies the minimum API-Level, see here.
