I was happy to hear that Android 1.6 supports the changing of resolution on the fly using code, as now that Android is coming out on so many handsets and all of them have their own screen sizes. This will present a problem for developers who are developing apps or games for Android as fragmentation is a huge issue for developers.
But a closer look at the documentation on Android’s website shows that it is not exactly what I hoped it was. You can’t exactly change the resolution on the fly, but you can specify what type of screen size your app will support and the OS will try to do it’s best to fit everything. So ultimately, this is a big step closer for Android and a game changer for Android developers.
No wonder there are anecdotal evidence that developers are now swarming over to Android.
While I’m not a fan of Android mobiles yet, I think it is a much better & open platform than any other mobiles I’ve seen around.
Will continue to explore the fun side of Android. hehe
