Android Kindle Fire - Make standard app or tablet?

Since Kindle Fire is not on HoneyComb, should I just build a standard app for the Kindle Fire? I have made multiple Android phone apps, but never a tablet app. But it appears to me that Kindle won't use things like fragments?

What considerations should I take in designing an app FOR the Kindle Fire outside of what I already know in designing phone apps?

I read the Amazon docs, but couldn't really find any specific development info.

Solution

  • Fragments are in the Android Compatibility Library. From a technological standpoint, a tablet app is just an app. You just make use of the larger screen real estate. You can get started in the usual Android docs.
