android-market-filtering

I have an Android phone/tablet apk which is currently in Play store and has these settings in its manifest file: package="com.company.xyz" android:versionCode="0803010008" android:versionName="01.00.08" > <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="8" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" /> <uses-library android:name="com.adobe

Our Android app can now use Bluetooth if available, but it is not required. So I added these lines to the manifest: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" android:required="false" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" android:required="false"/> PROBLEM : After publication, most people can download the app, but the app does not show up in the Market for: Android 1.5 HTC Magic Android 1.6 G1 What should I change so that it appears in the Market with those devices too? Please note that we allow SDK level 3, which includes Android 1.5: <uses

When I published my app to Google play store and I tried downloading it on my Google Nexus 7 , I get the message "Your device isn't compatible with this version". My Manifest file is declared like this:- <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="9" android:targetSdkVersion="16" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> <uses-permission android:name=

some people continue to download and install our HD game on phones that have 100MB of RAM and give us a bad rating... :) Is there a way to limit app download to only smartphones with much ram, or maybe to limit to new models/CPUs. My final solution came from following the tip from Raghav Sood.. After a little research I found out that limiting to screens bellow will limit to devices with 512Mb+ of RAM. It's not 100% secure but it's best solution I found out there :) Just add those filters in manifest file.. <compatible-screens> <!-- some normal size screens --> <screen android:screenSize=

I am just about to complete my Android application. Now I want to upload my application to the Android market for paid application. For that I have read the document from the Android site: android licensing But I want to see any demo or project that has done such licensing. I have seen the demo on the android developer site of mainactivity. But there the handler is given and I want to implement that code into mymainactivity of the project. In mymainactivity there is a splash screen in the start of the application, and I have set one handler for it. So that's why I need an example, to see how

I have the following Manifest: <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.myapp.MainActivity" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0.0" > <supports-screens android:anyDensity="false" android:largeScreens="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:resizeable="false" android:smallScreens="true" android:xlargeScreens="true" > </supports-screens> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" android:required="false" > </uses-permission> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS" android:required="false" > </uses
