Question

Is anyone developing for Android Tablet? (w/different resolution?)

The default Android smartphone resolution is 480x800. 

But the biggest screensize so far for an Android Tablet is the Samsung Galaxy tab at 800x1280.

Was wondering if anyone is developing a flash app at the 800x1280 resolution?  or is this not an option?  or not smart to do? 

I don't own an android tablet, so it's hard for me to test a 480x800 app on the 800x1280 screen.

So long as you don't specify any scale mode, the 480x800 stage will fill the 800x1280 screen. If I'm making and Android test I just let it stay at the default size, and it all looks good on my 10.1 inch tablet.

You would want to make sure that any bitmaps do have the detail needed for when they're blown up. Or have a different set of images to use if you're at the larger size stage (you get a resize event on startup, from which you can tell the size of the stage).

Hi!

We have created a application to smartphones and tablets of 10" and 7".

We have used one images resolution. The images are showing ok if you enabled GPU render.

Isnt the Motorola Xoom Android powered? And that thing is 1280x800 pxs.

In this modern day of endless resolutions you just have to design for all of them so no fixed witdh or height or location everything has to be relative.
