Skinning and Image size for android devices

I am building a mobile application for both Android and iOS devices. I am using images in 3 different resolutions sets.
The images have been made in such a way that the complete all screens were first designed for 640x960 resolution with 320 dpi. Then I created 3 different sets of images where the images were reduced to 75% and 50% of the 640x960 image size. The images I have now work fine for iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 and 4S devices. But the 75% one's don't work correctly. This is because the size of say background of view at 75% would be 720 pixels while the size of the Android device's screen is 854px or 800px.
How can I address this issue?

Any help on this?

Developing and using Adobe AIR native extensions for Android devices

I was using this tutorial:
"Developing and using Adobe AIR native extensions for Android devices"
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/ane-android-devices.html
When packing the Flex mobile ANESampleTest to deploy on an Android device, the below error happens
Error occurred while packaging the application:

Does anyone know what the issue might be?

Did you find a workaround for the Error? I'm getting the same and I can't seem to find any solution.

Hi there! So I am using Lightroom 3 on a pc and I have ran into an issue when exporting images. The DPI and image size (in inches) that I am selecting during the export process. For example I just exported a collection and set the dpi to 180 and the size to 7 inches on the long edge. My exported result is 457 dpi and sized at 3200x2134 pixels.. Any ideas on why this is happening and what I can do to correct it?

The DPI setting in a digital image has no meaning at all. You need to learn how to calculate what you need in your exported image. The only measurement in a digital image that has any meaning is the number of pixels in each direction. It doesn't matter what you set that DPI to (actually it's PPI or pixels per inch). The image will have the same number of pixels regardless of the setting. If you need an image that is 5 x 7" (for example) at 200 PPI then you would want an image that measured:
5 x 200 = 1000 pixels
7 x 200 = 1400 pixels
So you would need an image that is 1000 x 1400 pixels to have a 5 x 7" image at 200 PPI. The reason your exported image had such a high PPI setting is because you specified the number of inches you wanted the image to be. And there were enough pixels in the image that it calculated out to be that high PPI setting.
I apologize, I don't explain this very well. But you need to learn to do the math to determine how large you really want your exported images to be.

Recommended Image Size for Contact Pictures?

Hi All,
I want to edit up some family members to attach thier images to my iPhone contacts... Does anyone know what the preferred resolution size is for the iPhone for optimal appearance?
I've tried to do this with outlook before, and I hate the way it dithers the images to a low quality.... I'm hoping that the iPhone doesn't do this and so I wanted to experiment with how they would appear...
But instead of making the images just any random size, I wanted to crop them to the preferred image/pixel size so that my photoshopped images look like what I expect them to show up like...
If you could advise with the documented or known pixel resolution size used by the iPhone it would be appreciated!

Thanks, but I don't believe that the contacts come up full screen do they?
Usually there is a optimal image size for certain things like contact photos and I am just trying to help ensure that all my photos are the same size and don't vary...
I might be a little carried away with how I am formatting them, but just hoping someone already knows this answer!

Photo image size for letterpress card

I'm trying to create a simple card in iPhoto 11 and am having some difficulties.
The various card themes have several layout options. Each option requires a certain size image (or sizes - some layouts are for more than one image).
How am I supposed to know what size of image will fit in each "layout box"?
Am I supposed to just play with the size of the image by resizing a JPG until it fits? Too time consuming - I've tried and I just can't get it to fit. Obviously I missing something simple if this is to be an "easy way to quickly make a card". I cannot find the required image size for the various layouts anywhere, so I'm clearly missing something.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1035 tells me recommended resolutions, but they are too big to fit into a card.
NOTE: I'm not talking about cropping an image or resizing it, which I can do.
I just need to know the size these card layouts require! Where is this information located, or what am I doing wrong?
Am I confusing DPI and pixels and resolution and ....?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Best,
Kurt

I'm not clear on whatyou are not clear on
You simply drag photos to the enpty photo frames in the template - there are move and pan controls if you want to change the position of the photo - you can reight click on a photo and select "fit to frame" in most themse if the photo ratios do not match teh frame ratios and yo are losing parts of the photo
the only "resolution" concern you have is that the photos are at least 180 DPI and if they are not you will get a warning
"Note: A yellow warning triangle with an exclamation point in the center may appear if the resolution is too low (below 180 DPI)."
The article you referenced gives Minimum pixel sizes for various uses - if your photo are that size or larger you are fine
The pixel size is shown in teh info window for a photo

Where is the Package Name and Class Name for Android to Facebook SSO?

Where is the Package Name and Class Name for Android to Facebook SSO?
I am trying to fill these fields http://developers.facebook.com/docs/mobile/android/build/#ref for Facebook but i can't figure out what to place in Android Package Name and Andorid Class Name,
same thing for the Android Key Hash, I followed this guide http://www.skoobalon.com/blog/2012/06/13/getting-the-android-key-hash-for-facebook-from-an -air-app/ but I am not sure if it is the right thing to do.
I was thinking maybe the Pakage Name is air.com.myname.myappname (where com.myname.myappname is also the id used in the application.xml) and the Class name is air.com.myname.myappname.MyDocumentClass ?
Is there an official guide somewhere?
Also do you guys know if there is somewhere a library we can use within AIR to do SSO on Facebook from Andorid?

For what it's worth, I don't think a WiFi connection would be reliable enough. You wouldn't want your picture to freeze just because a neighbour has turned on their baby monitor. WiFi uses the same frequencies as a myriad of other devices, as well as all your neighbours' WiFi.

Calculating image sizes for ibookstore submission

I have the new ipad...so all my graphics look great, but I am having a hard time finding the exact method for determining image size for a book I am submitting to ibookstore. Can anyone point me to a way to calculate the best and largest images for ibooks

For all those who are still confused by Apples image restrictions / requirements...
In the new Template chooser after the recent updates is "Antique". This template has a Chapter background image ( the olde world print of sailing ships in blue litho print style ). This print when opened in PS is 2771 x 1506 @72ppi. 2771x1506=4,173,126 pixels.This implies Apple supply a book which does not comply with its own requirements!
Higher image resolution applied to printed photo inmages, make the image sharper. If for example you wanted to print a wall poster 45inches wide, the image needs needs a higher resolution to cater for the size, BUT the same image used for a 45" poster will print 4.5" wide print on your own printer!
iBA full page is deemed to be 1024 x 748. resolution from Apple is 72ppi. An image with those specifications will be OK in iPad & iPad 2 - but not so sharp on a Retina display especially if zoomed larger on screen
Now it seems 2048 x 1496 - double the original image size is suggested for Retina.
You can change an image in PS i.e. 1024 x 748 and change resolution to 144. PS will double the pixel size as you change the resolution. OK, just change pixel sizes back to 1024 x 748 and reolution is now 144.
That indicates a sharper image which will be suitable for retina display and in fact all current iPad models.
Today my 11th photo book was notified as available in the iBook Store, all my images were pre-formatted at 2048 x 1496 @ 150ppi. ( 2048 x 1496 = 3.063,808 pixels!)
During delivery there were no issues flagged and after delivery no tickets.
So I suggest all those folk pondering images sizes follow my example, which is now proved to be accepatble!
One thing puzzles me though, I dont use all images as full page and they can be masked down to - say - 250 x 200. Should just make an image to fit the size I want to display ??

Minimum specifications of DPS for Android device

I would like to know the minimum specifications of DPS for Android Device.
I found the information for Android OS in this form,
Supported versions of Android OS are :
2.3.x (Gingerbread)
3.x (Honeycomb)
4.x (Ice Cream Sandwich).
Are there any minimum specifications for Processer, Memory (ROM/RAM)...?
shimoawazu

DPS viewers should run on Froyo (2.2) or later, and only on Android devices defined as Large or XLarge. Some people have loade viewers onto smaller Android devices such as phones, but doing so is not yet supported.
FYI, this article might help in understanding the differences between Android and iOS viewers:

Phonegap integration. Building for Android device

hey all,
i'm trying to build an apk file for android device.
Easy with Dreamweaver yes.
Difficulty comes when you try to add some specific functionality : for instance you may want to post some stuff on the user 's facebook wall.
PhoneGap provides a plugin for that : https://github.com/davejohnson/phonegap-plugin-facebook-connect
But this plugin needs some addional stuff from the android SDK. It needs some java classes, namely the facebook android sdk : https://github.com/facebook/facebook-android-sdk
Has anybody any hint on how we could include that stuff in dreamweaver installation?
In my opinion we need to rebuild android.jar (not tried yet) but there may be another solution to tweak Dreamweaver. Or has anybody another solution to post on facebook/twitter from a native apk coming from a jquery/phonegap project under Dreamweaver?
thanks in advance for reactions/advices/...
Loic

I did that on a mac :-)
however it was a standard eclipse project. I had to include the correct JARS (facebook+phonegap) in the library path and everything was fine quite easily. I mean there was no additional SDK to install due to OSX.
What I remember too is this: there is no facebook app installed on the emulator. It means when you run your app on it and try to connect to facebook through phonegap, the browser will open and ask for authentication. On your device, if the FB app is installed a nice popup will open and ask for authentication and authorization (or just confirmation if you are already authenticated).
in conclusion there's no need to buy a mac for that. Be sure to check phonegap forum and post your problem. Phonegap releases have evolved a lot and they are quite responsive.

I have four devices on one Apple ID, i have separate emails and phone numbers for each device but when I tried to add one to my iPod, it said that the email was already in use.

I have four devices on one Apple ID, i have seperate emails and phone numbers for each device but when I tried to add one to my iPod, it said that the email was already in use. I have tried many things and the only guess I have is that either someone else has this email as their iMessage but is fake or it wasn't taken off my old iPod when I reset it. Any ideas on what to do?

Thanks but that doesn't give me the information I need. I am putting an email on my ipod for people to contact me for iMessage and FaceTime but when I put the email in, it gives me an error saying that the email cannot be veirified because it is already in use. My Apple ID can be varified, just not the email that they will contact me with.

Where could we find the CT and PT values for Particular Device ???

I 'm facing a scenario in a report i need to place a field device number and assosiated CT's and PT's .
where could we find the CT and PT values for Particular Device ??? basically im MM consultant   we don't ahave DM consultant please help with this issue???
means actually i got the table and field details for transformation ratio (or) CT/PT ratio
                      ETYP_UEBERVER. from the screen EG03 , t-code
                        but im not sure   this is the exact field that i require ....

The transformation ratio are the attributes of a "Winding Group". Find winding group of a device and then you'll get the desired information.

I have the Jetpack 4GLTE, what is the Mbps download and upload speeds for this device?

I have the Jetpack 4GLTE, what is the Mbps download and upload speeds for this device?

The avgrage real speed will be more in the area of 25 to 38 Mbps You would need to be in a strong signal area with high grade cell tower service and low customer use to even reach 50 Mbps.
From Verizon page. Just be aware that using the MiFi 6620L can cost a lot of money. And you can thank the device's fast performance for that. In my testing around the San Francisco Bay Area, rathe device delivered blazing-fast download speeds that nged between around 10Mbps to around 40Mbps. At those speeds, you can burn through 4GB of data in just less than an hour. Once you reach the cap, of course, you'll have to pay somewhere between $10 to $15 for each additional gigabyte, depending on the plan you sign up for.

TS1702 adjusting the security and permissions settings for your device.

I Updated to the ios6, then tried to save a video to the camera roll. The app asked if I would allow it to have access to my photos, and I said "no" and now I can't save any videos made with that app to my camera roll. I contacted the support at vidrythum and they said I had to contact apple and ask how to adjust the security and permissions settings for your device. Any ideas??
thanks

WOOHOO!!
You are a diamond!!
All working now. Thanks mate.

Images sizes for DPS and Retina

On this link:
http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/kb/troubleshoot-content-viewer-digital-pub lishing.html#main_Viewer_appears_to_crash_while_launching__while_updating_library__or_whil e_downloading_folios_on_iPad
It says that images should be no larger than 1024x1024px however the retina display is 2048x1536px. So if we are to use 1024px images they will appear lo-res on the retina? Is this correct?

That's an old tech note that should be updated.
The best way to target both SD and HD (retina) devices is to create 1024x768 folios in PDF image format. See Creating multi-rendition articles. Another option is to create both SD and HD renditions, but even if you take that approach, we still recommend sticking to 1024x768 source documents.
For image size, feel free to use high-resolution images for non-interactive images. When the articles are created, these images and all other non-interactive page items are downsampled in the article's image format: JPG, PNG, or PDF. For images in overlays, you'll want to understand the difference between overlays that are resampled (slideshows, scrollable frames, buttons) and overlays that are passed through without compression (pan and zoom, image sequence, and panoramas, along with video and audio). For images in pass-through overlays, create JPG or PNG images in the exact dimensions; avoid scaling. See Best practices for creating overlays.
