Google Play - Supported Devices

I have uploaded my first app ("Spray Diary") to google play and notice that there seem to be no supported devices when you press the 'Show Devices' button.
I can view the app on my own phone, but not my tablet. I understand that the supported devices depends on the manifest file -

AddManifestText(
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" />
<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true"
android:normalScreens="true"
android:smallScreens="true"
android:anyDensity="true"/>)
SetApplicationAttribute(android:icon, "@drawable/icon")
SetApplicationAttribute(android:label, "$LABEL$")

It seems to suggest all screen sizes are supported, so why doesn't the app appear on google play when viewed using the tablet, and why is the list of supported devices on the Google Play Developer Console empty?

What libraries or hardware features does the app use (i.e. camera, GPS, etc)?

Spray Diary Lite Link

Can you post a link to your app?

Hi Erel,
Although I was able to find the app on Google Play using my Samsung Galaxy S phone within about 20 mins, it took a number of hours before I could access it using my tablet - I had initially thought that some compatability issue prevented access, but this now seems not to have been the case, and the app does work on the tablet, although with the much larger size the layout was way off. I'm now looking at forum entries on designer scripts to enable the app to be used by most phones, and will maybe write a separate layout for the larger tablets. All a learning curve at this stage.
The app link is:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=spray.diary.com&feature=search_result#?t=W10.

Thanx
Bryan
