If I place an image on a card designed for an android phone screen then
Shrink the image and lock the size and position, will it expand in size
When opened on a larger screen eg. A samsung Galaxy tablet?
I want to use images that don't suffer in quality when expanded.
Any suggestions?

Hi abanowBUSTfGf,

this is your N-th posting about possible screensize on ADROID devices and what you can do about it.

Please understand that there is no universal recipe for this and you need to put a do of work (scripting)
to make your app look good on most screens.

Of course it will NOT, unless you script this behaviour!

Suggestions?
Use images that are as big as their biggest representation (1:1) on an ANDROID screen.

Means:
If the biggest screen size your are probably facing is. e.g. 1200*800 then a fullscreen
background picture should also have 1200*800 pixel in dimensions.
Use this image also for smaller screensizes and scale it accordingly!

There are dozens of android devices out there of varying screen sizes. How on earth does one program for all these variations?
