I’ve just finished my app optimised for retina display on the iPhone. I am about to start the android version but am pretty confused at the screen size to optimise for. I am only looking to release the app on phones not tablets (I want to do an HD version for those). What pixel dimension should I be optimising my graphics to?

I was hoping for a quick simple answer iPhone 4 is 960x480 what is Android? I just want to be sure before changing all my graphics. I am getting a lot of different answers from my searches.
480x320 480x800 and 480x854 have come up What is the most common size to use for phones (not tablets). There must be some android devs out there? pretty please. [import]uid: 142733 topic_id: 28007 reply_id: 113382[/import]
There are a ton of resolutions out there which is why you won’t get a quick and simple answer, really… Take a look at the link below and go down to the ‘Magic Recipe’ section:

That was written before retina displays, but you should be able to play with it to acheive what you want. In my current project I have my build settings set to 480x320(non-retina iPhone) and my background image resolution is 570 x 380. I’ve tested it on on iPhone, iPad and three android devices(all different screns but not sure what!) and it’s worked out great. The main thing to remember is that you leave a ‘bleed area’ anywhere outside of the 480x320 size.
I strongly suggest following that method as then you don’t have to worry about going back and making an android version, it’s already done. I was very happy how nice it worked out. [import]uid: 147305 topic_id: 28007 reply_id: 113397[/import]
