Android tablet screensizes

[daleoshea]

Hi guys, 

I am getting an error message that my APK is not designed for Android tablet devices above where you add the screenshot for 7 and 10 inch tablets in the developer dashboard. 

I’ve looked into the reason and it is because I have not uploaded the correct screenshot sizes. 

What screenshot sizes are to be uploaded ? 

The sizes I have used are: 1024 * 600 (7 inch) and 1920 * 1200 (10 inch)

This is the error message

You uploaded screenshots for 10-inch tablets, but your APK does not seem to be designed for 10-inch tablets.

you’re probably missing the xhdpi and/or xxhdpi and/or xxxhdpi icons – it’s not the resolution of the screenshots that determines support, it’s whether or not you have the right resources built into the drawables of your apk

by the same token, note that you can upload a single “standardized” set of 800x1280 screenshots for all devices, you don’t HAVE to upload higher-res for the bigger tablets (only really worth the trouble if you think it “significantly” benefits the listing when viewed on those larger devices)

Hi, 

With the xhdpi, xxhdpi and xxxhdpi icons. What is the naming format ? 

I have them as Icon-xhdpi.png, Icon-xxhdpi.png and Icon-xxxhdpi.png

Should the Icon- part be removed ??

Thank you
