Apps App for multiple screen

[mini139]

Hi, I have developed an app for tablet. But i want that app to work it in mobile device also. How to make it work with mobile. Is it possible? Or i have to redesign the app?

That depends on the programming environment you used. If you can detect the device's screen width and height, you could programetically adjust your User Interface accordingly.

To an extent, the layouts you use will scale to the size of the screen available, provided you've used the correct width and height specifications. Avoid using absolute sizes. There's some useful advice here:

Although you probably want to provide separate layouts for the different screen sizes, as described here

Also think about how your layout looks in landscape vs portrait modes. Again, you can create different layouts for each mode, if required.

You can use the emulator to test how your app looks on the various screen sizes
