Mobile Screen and their Resolution for android developers



Compatible devices MUST support dynamic orientation by applications to either portrait or landscape screen orientation. That is, the device must respect the application's request for a specific screen orientation. Device implementations MAY select either portrait or landscape orientation as the default.
There are some screen resolutions already defined in Android. They are: QVGA (240×320, low density, small screen) WQVGA (240×400, low density, normal screen) FWQVGA (240×432, low density, normal screen) HVGA (320×480, medium density, normal screen) WVGA800 (480×800, high density, normal screen) WVGA854 (480×854 high density, normal screen)

QVGA (Quarter Video Graphics Array)
QVGA (Quarter Video Graphics Array or Quarter VGA) is a type of resolution whose dimensions are 320×240 pixels. The QVGA display is normally found in devices such as mobile phones and PDAs. The display is also common on other hand-held devices such as game consoles.
Resolution
Most of the time, the display is in the portrait layout as opposed to the landscape layout. They are also known as 240×320 displays because they are taller than they are wide. So why is it known as Quarter Video Graphics Array? It has this name because the display is 1/4th of the 640×480 resolution of the original IBM machine that had the VGA display. The original display was almost a de facto standard in the 1980s.

WQVGA (400×240)
Wide QVGA or WQVGA is any display resolution having the same height in pixels as QVGA, but wider. This definition is consistent with other 'wide' versions of computer displays.
Since QVGA is 320 pixels wide and 240 pixels high (aspect ratio of 4:3), the resolution of a WQVGA screen might be 384×240 (16:10 aspect ratio), 400×240 (5:3—such as the Nintendo 3DS screen or the maximum resolution in YouTube at 240p), 428×240 or 432×240 (~16:9 ratio).

IBM Sample Problem Using Speed

Question 1 A policeman starts chasing a thief 30 minutes after the thief had run from a spot. With an average speed of 20km per hour, he takes 2 hours to catch the thief. What is the average speed of the thief? a)16km/hr b)25km/hr c)24km/hr d)18km/hr Answer : a)16km/hr Solution: As given, the average speed of the policeman = 20km/hr. He takes 2 hours to catch the thief, so from formula, "distance = speed x time" we have The total distance covered by the police to catch the thief = 20 x 2 = 40 km (This value is also equal to the distance run by thief before being caught by Police.) Policeman had started late by 30 minutes and took 2 hours to catch the running thief. Above means that the thief takes (30minutes + 2 hours =) 5/2 hours to reach 40km. So the speed of the thief = 40/(5/2) = 40 x 2 / 5 = 16 km/hr. Hence the answer is 16km/hr. Question 2 From a particular spot, Tom started to chase Jerry which had left the spot before 30 minutes. Tom ran acro...
