An app for each scale?

Would it be acceptable to just make the same app in different 'versions' - one for scale=1, one for scale=1.5, and one for scale=2. Would the Android Market accept this? I'm trying to reduce my programming headaches. Thanks.
 
The Android Market would accept it yes, as long as each application got a unique package name.

But the real question is if the users would accept having to figure out which one of the apps is working for their specific device.

I don't think this will reduce your maintenance overhead as each time you upgrade the program you will have to change the code in, at least, three programs.

I don't know why I didn't think of this before. In the designer, I have simply started added new variants with the other scales. So far, so good.

I use this little formula (my_dip=100dip/100 ) and I use my_dip as a factor

Does this not just equal 1dip and therefore is the same as using dips throughout?

yes,but in a dynamic function how to be sure that a 1dip is greater than 1 or equal 1
in my small smatphone LG log(1dip) =0 and log(100dip/100)=0.75
in my Tablet Archos 7" log(1dip)=1 and log(100dip/100)=1
in my tablet Yavrik log(1dip)=1 and log(100dip/100)=1.25
