application compatible to mobile as well as Tablet

Question

I want to make an application compatible to mobile as well as tablet.Please suggest me how can i do that? Do i need to make two separate application or one application will solve my purpose?

Answer 1

By default all apps are compatible with all shapes and sizes (the only restriction being API level). Apps will resize automatically dependent on screen size - whether it does it correctly is another matter.

You can (and should) redesign the app so that it appears correctly on all devices. This means taking advantage of the specific folder structure Android uses: there is plenty of information on the subject on the Android Dev Guide at

• http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/compatibility.html
• http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/tablets-and-handsets.html
• http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html

There is no need, however, to make a separate app.
