“The problem is that the X10 mini has a very small screen with
only a QVGA resolution. This screen size/resolution wasn’t
supported by Android until recently and the Android system might
not be able to scale resources and layouts designed for other
screen sizes well enough to suit the X10 mini. Hence, the Android
system designers have chosen that any app which does not declare
explicit support for small screens (i.e., the app dev has tested
his app on small screens and made any changes, if needed, and then
declared that everything works fine in the Android Manifest) then
it is considered not compatible by default and hence, the Android
marketplace will filter your app out.“Now, this is a big loss. A lot of X10 minis were sold and there
are lot of new low-tier and cheap Android smartphones coming out
with this resolution, so it is a significant market share that you
can’t afford to lose. The solution is simple. If the app does
indeed work fine on small screens (or you have fixed it to work),
then all you got to do is add the below mentioned line in your
AndroidManifest.xml.”
