Choose the design resolution size for Android devices in Cocos2dx

Question

I'm having trouble when trying to choose design resolution sizes for Android devices.

I just want to have around 4-5 resources (images, background, sprites, etc) but can run in any Android devices. What the suitable design resolution I can do? For example, 320x480, 720x1280, what else?

Can you give me some advice to choose?

Thanks

In your AppDelegate class:

this resolution is for Landscape Mode

bool AppDelegate::applicationDidFinishLaunching()
{

    /**********************  CCEGLView::sharedOpenGLView()->setDesignResolutionSize() //set design resolution size and mode
     *********************  CCEGLView::sharedOpenGLView()->getFrameSize() //get screen resolution
     *********************CCDirector::sharedDirector()->getWinSize() //get design resolution
     *********************  CCDirector::sharedDirector()->getVisibleSize() //get design resolution’s visable area size
     *********************  CCDirector::sharedDirector()->getVisibleOrigin() //get origin of the visable area of design resolution*/


    // initialize director
    CCDirector* director = CCDirector::sharedDirector();
    CCEGLView* EGLView = CCEGLView::sharedOpenGLView();

    director->setOpenGLView(EGLView);


    CCSize screenSize = EGLView->getFrameSize();
    CCSize designSize = CCSizeMake(1024,614);
    EGLView->setDesignResolutionSize(designSize.width,designSize.height, kResolutionExactFit);


    CCLog("Screen Size:%f %f",screenSize.width,screenSize.height);


    if(screenSize.height >= 320 && screenSize.height <= 480)
    {
        CCSize resourceSize = CCSizeMake(800, 480);
        director->setContentScaleFactor(resourceSize.height/screenSize.height);
        CCLog("Resolution Scale OF Default =%f",resourceSize.height/screenSize.height);

    }


    else if(screenSize.height >= 540 && screenSize.height < 720 )
    {

        CCSize resourceSize = CCSizeMake(960, 540);
        director->setContentScaleFactor(resourceSize.height/screenSize.height);
        CCLog("Resolution Scale OF Karboon=%f",resourceSize.height/screenSize.height);
    }


    else if (screenSize.height >= 720 && screenSize.height < 800)
    {

        CCSize resourceSize = CCSizeMake(1280, 720);
        director->setContentScaleFactor(resourceSize.height/screenSize.height);
        CCLog("Resolution Scale OF NOTE=%f",resourceSize.height/screenSize.height);

    }

    else if(screenSize.height > 800)
    {
        CCSize resourceSize = CCSizeMake(1920, 1080);
        director->setContentScaleFactor(resourceSize.height/screenSize.height);
        CCLog("Resolution Scale OF Nexus=%f",resourceSize.height/screenSize.height);

    }

    else
    {


        director->setContentScaleFactor(1);
        CCLog("Resolution Scale OF S Advance=%f");

    }
