The Android Hello World app is zoomed in and blurry on my nexus 7


I am starting android development and I am following the first training guide on developer.android.com.

I created an app like this:

android create project --target <target-id> --name MyFirstApp \
--path <path-to-workspace>/MyFirstApp --activity MainActivity \
--package com.example.myfirstapp

When I install it on my nexus 7 it's all zoomed in blurry. How do I fix this?


Solution

  • Turns out I needed to have the supports-screens set up in my AndroidManifest.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          package="com.gpsinsight.gpsandroid"                                                             
          android:versionCode="1"
          android:versionName="1.0">
        <supports-screens
            android:smallScreens="true"
            android:normalScreens="true"        android:largeScreens="true"
            android:xlargeScreens="true" />
        <application android:label="@string/app_name" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher">
            <activity android:name="MainActivity"
                      android:label="@string/app_name">
                <intent-filter>
                    <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                    <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
                </intent-filter>
            </activity>
        </application>
    </manifest>
