what about density? I heard that it has got not standard (high) density.

"In this context, the Samsung has another little surprise: If you do the arithmetic, its screen has 170 DPI, which is far from the densest among Android devices. Still, it declares itself as “hdpi” (and as having a “large” screen size). The reason is simple: It looks better that way." --- I have found this at google blog, but I do not know how to understand that. Is it 170 dpi or just standard hdpi?

If it has 170 DPI, that means it's closer to mdpi (160 DPI), not hdpi (240 DPI).

@ xil3 I know that, but pls read message from google blog. Should I set 170 dpi or 240 dpi in the emulator?

Set it to 170 dpi.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab is an Android-based compact tablet computer produced by Samsung that debuted on the 2nd of September at the 2010 IFA in Berlin. It features a 7-inch (180 mm) TFT-LCD touchscreen, Wi-Fi capability, a 1.0 GHz ARM Cortex-A8 ("Hummingbird") processor, and the Swype input system. It is equipped with a 3.2 MP rear-facing camera and a 1.3 MP front facing camera for video calls. The Galaxy Tab, at release, was equipped with Android 2.2 (Froyo).

Resolution: 1024x600

Resolution != density. Android flags the Tab as a high-density device.

Oops, sorry. I was going to find the density as well, couldn't find it, then forgot to remove 'density'.

Great Samsung just moved up in my manufacturer top list a lot. First vendor to create a device specific skin and settings for the emulator. Would love to have more of that.

Not true. I've been using Motorola's AVDs for ages: http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/tools/

I have problems with my application layouts. The same layouts worked well both for HTC (320x480) and Nexus (489x800), but now on Galaxy Tab it looks bad. All graphics elements are positioned in wrong places. I use "dip" in all the place in layout.

vladgets 2010-10-27 15:29:38

Nexus has 480x800 not 489x800. All large class devices have 480 width and 800/854 height.
