Does Android support XGA (1024x768) resolution ?

[Derk]

Dear experts

Q1: Does Android support XGA(1024x768) resolution?

Q2: If not,How can we support XGA resolution ?

Q3: Or should we wait Chrome OS ?

Many Thanks.

It depends on what you mean by support.  It will certainly run on a screen that size (given you have enough RAM available for frame buffers etc).  At this point however the screen sizes that are supported by apps on market are described here:

Hi,

There has been numerous questions on this topic in past, but to my
surprise none of them are answered to what is expected.

IMO Supporting a large screen device (1024x768) needs modification in
the Android at:
1. App Layer
2. App F/W layer
3. At the Display driver layer

Most of the replies to above query just address the #3, i.e.
framebuffer size needs to be increased to accommodate large screen
display. But I am pretty sure something should be done at the APP and
App f/w too.

It will be great if Android experts can help us in understanding the
whole approach, to help us in adopting Android for large screen
devices.

Thanks,
Mike

To be more specific, do i have to make modification in the Android
Framewok components such as "Resource manager" and View System to
support large screen displays such as XGA..

Thanks,
Mike

Er no those are completely independent of whatever the screen size is.

Like I said, the system will run on a large screen as long as you have enough memory for a frame buffer.  This means you don't need to modify core parts of the platform to make it work.  I don't know what "more insight" you are looking for.

Adding to the quesitons,

- other than regular display, how about the max resolution supported
for video files?? say to enable HD resolution video playback (720p,
1080p from VGA).

Any hint on exisiting max.resolution supported or what components to
modify to scale the resolution will be of great help..
Not sure if any products are lined up for this.

Thanks,
Deva
