Android Question Problem with drawable folder

[nicolino33]

Hi, When I compile the application, the folders res/layout res/xml are
empty, and are not created drawable folders containing the images to other
layouts (hdpi, mdpi etc ...) Why? this is a problem, because when I public
the application in google play it gives me an error, saying that I did not
add drawable resources to other screens.

The B4A designer doesn't use resources to build the layout.

Are you sure that there is an error in Google Play? Or a warning related to tablets?

You can fix this warning: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/google-play-designed-for-tablet-screens.33949/#content

Hi Erel, is a warning, but this is important.

if I do not solve this warning google does not make the application available, I've been able to see when I designed it with another software, when this warning is present the application is not located in google.

I've done everything properly, following any indication in the forum, but the problem remained.

I have attached the screenshot of Google play...

PS.
I want to clarify that the message of Google play says that I MUST make the changes, not that I SHOULD make the changes, therefore this problem must be solved.

You should translate the message. My italian is a bit rusty (mi aiuto molto con le mani a parlare italiano).

 

[nicolino33]

no problem for your italian, my English is worse

then, this is the first line:
Your APK for production must be soddisfacente for this condition

this is the second line(X error):
You should be used the avaiable space of layout of your tablet

Your message in english is not understandable (at least for me) and does not give enough clues. Could you copy/paste the text of the message on the right side explaining the problem? I will try different translators.

 

[nicolino33]

you should be used ------- the avaiable layout space ---------- IN your tablet



is better?

I understand more or less the meaning of the sentence but that's of no help. I need the explanation on the right.

To me it seems only a suggestion.

In your layout you should (not MUST!) use the available space in the tablet. (on the left)

Designing apps for tablets allows you to reach a greater number of customers. (on the right)

Ok, it's the message that you get when Google detect that your app is not ready for tablets.
As suggested by Erel, you have to read and apply this: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/google-play-designed-for-tablet-screens.33949/#content
Don't forget to set the read-only attribute of the icon.png file.

the problem is very simple: B4A don't make the icon and folder of drawable file for HDMI, MDPI, LDPI, it make only one folder (in RES/): DRAWABLE, in this folder you find only one file (icon), not find the XML file and not find LAYOUT file, only folder.

Google play not found these file

That's why I advise in my post to create the folder hdpi and place an icon inside it, with the proper size. You do not need any XML file or "layout" file.

 

[nicolino33]

I've already make the HDPI folder with the various icons resolutions, and other, but this not solve the problem, google play always show the same warning message!

 

[LucaMs]

You should (must? ) create every folder, for HDPI, LDPI, MDPI... and put in each of them a different icon! (setting them Read-Only)

No, only the hdpi folder is required.

Only one icon is expected by Google in the hdpi folder. The other things to do (screenshots, settings in manifest) are mandatory.

How Android finds the best-matching resource

How Android finds the best-matching resource

This is mainly useful for Java users, not for us. B4A does not use these folders unless told to do so via the manifest or the XMLLayoutBuilder library.

 

[nicolino33]

I have put only one icon in the HDPI folder, high resolution, (the name of this folder is "drawable-hdpi"), but this not solve the problem, I've Always the Google warning.
