Android app compatibility issues with Nexus 6
android, compatibility, google-play
Solution
I got a lot of trouble too to make my app works on Nexus 6. I finally found how to do it, hopefully it will work for you.
- First of all, you need to set the screenDensity to 560 in the AndroidManifest for compatible-screens. It didn't work without specifying it in the screenDensity list. I had to set the screen size to normal with a density of 560 to make it work.
- Then, I had to provide xxhdpi (and maybe xxxhdpi) icons for the application. I provided both icons at the same time so I don't know if the xxxhdpi is mandatory. But on this link: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2014/10/getting-your-apps-ready-for-nexus-6-and.html, it is said that you should provide at least a xxxhdpi icon.
Problem
For supporting For Nexus 6 screen size and density, I have the following in my manifest: ``` <compatible-screens> <screen android:screenSize="normal" android:screenDensity="560" /> <screen android:screenSize="large" android:screenDensity="560" /> <screen android:screenSize="xlarge" android:screenDensity="560" /> </compatible-screens> ``` The complete list of values in my manifest are listed below. Google Play says my app is incompatible. Not sure what I am missing here.. ``` <compatible-screens> <screen android:screenSize="normal" android:screenDensity="xhdpi" /> <screen android:screenSize="normal" android:screenDensity="480" /> <screen android:screenSize="normal" android:screenDensity="560" /> <screen android:screenSize="normal" android:screenDensity="640" /> <screen android:screenSize="large" android:screenDensity="ldpi" /> <screen android:screenSize="large" android:screenDensity="mdpi" /> <screen android:screenSize="large" android:screenDensity="213" /> <screen android:screenSize="large" android:screenDensity="hdpi" /> <screen android:screenSize="large" android:screenDensity="xhdpi" /> <screen android:screenSize="large" android:screenDensity="480" /> <screen android:screenSize="large" android:screenDensity="560" /> <screen android:screenSize="large" android:screenDensity="640" /> <screen android:screenSize="xlarge" android:screenDensity="ldpi" /> <screen android:screenSize="xlarge" android:screenDensity="mdpi" /> <screen android:screenSize="xlarge" android:screenDensity="213" /> <screen android:screenSize="xlarge" android:screenDensity="hdpi" /> <screen android:screenSize="xlarge" android:screenDensity="xhdpi" /> <screen android:screenSize="xlarge" android:screenDensity="480" /> <screen android:screenSize="xlarge" android:screenDensity="560" /> <screen android:screenSize="xlarge" android:screenDensity="640" /> </compatible-screens> ```
