Hi,
I have searched this group but couldn't find the answer:
What's the largest screen resolution android support right now?
We are going to port android on rather large size of scree and the
resolution is about 1024X800. Can Android supports this? If not, is
there any setup or configuration file I can change?

thanks,

Hill

There used to be a point where there was a 1MB limit on the
framebuffer (which would be about 832*624@16bpp).

I believe that the emulator might let you easily specify the screen
size to use, but I might be wrong. If it does, you should be able to
try in the emulator.

the emulator allows you to specify a larger size with a "magic" option (e.g.  -skin 800x600), but it seems that the 1MB is either
in the kernel or the system code, so large sizes won't work even here :-(

Thanks for the replies.
But I wonder where android sets this limit so I can modify this to support 1024X600 or 1024X800 resolution?
