How big is an android phone's screen?

Question

How big is the motorola android's screen, in pixels? I want to know what size I need to make my graphic without it being too disorted by the fill_parent.

EDIT: I don't think you guys understood this... I know android is the operating system. Let me explain: If phone A was 400 by 300 pixels, hypothetically, and phone B was 450 by 350 pixels, I would know to make the graphic at least 400 by 300 pixels without the graphic being as stretched as if it were 300 by 200 pixels. Perhaps a better question would be, how big is the smallest droid's screen?

Answer 1

Although this doesn't directly answer your question..

Android is the name of the operating system running on Android phones. Different phone models could have different resolutions and pixel densities. Therefore you have to be careful not to hardcode resolution values into your code. It might run well on one phone but poorly on another.

Answer 2

motorola droid's display size is 480x854 px, according to specs, so it's rather non-standard

Answer 3

It would be unwise to program for one screen size, especially if you plan on distributing your application later. You should design your application for as many screen sizes as possible.

Instead use nine-patch images and flexible layouts. If you are designing an icon, the look at the android icon design guidelines and consider high, medium and low density screens. There are different resource folders for these too and android takes care of selecting the appropriate one for the current device.
