I tried creating an app which puts a shortcut icon on the home screen of the device.
It works nice on other devices, but on my Galaxy Nexus (with 4.2.1) the icon crops the icon image and takes the top left of it only.
It appears like this:
Any idea why this might be happening, or is it a bug?
Try delete all the icons except the one for the galaxy nexus(if i remember good it's 96X96)
It's an issue with a custom ROM.
Handle this case and put another shortcut icon to Galaxy Nexus (with 4.2.1)

I'm writing a chat app in which I have two different layouts for normal and large devices, similar to the Telegram app. I have an MainActivity that on non-large devices has only a fragment containing the list of chats in it's layout.xml. On large devices the layout.xml also includes a fragment, where you can write in the chat.
My problem is, that on large devices (e.g. Nexus 9 Virtual Device) the app rotates fine when I rotate the device, the activities are reloaded etc. But on non-large devices the app won't rotate after it is started. I have tried this on Nexus 5X API22 and Nexus 5 API23 Virtual Devices and on a OnePlus X and a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, all with auto-rotate activated. There is nothing in the AndroidManifest or anywhere else in my code, that has any influence on configChanges. I let Android handle them and don't handle them myself.
I can get the app to rotate on non-large devices when I open the app, got to overview or start another app, rotate to landscape and then go back to my app through overview. After doing this, it reacts normally to rotation. This means I can then rotate it around and the layout/activity is reloaded accordingly by Android.
I couldn't find anything on this anywhere, neither on SO, nor through googling. Please help me, if you have any ideas, where this problem could stem from.
While using Chrome on a Galaxy S3, when zooming, the fixed menu doesn't disappear. On other devices such as an iPhone, the menu will hide. Since the menu won't hide, it covers half the content of the viewing area.
I was able to replicate this on http://getbootstrap.com/examples/navbar-fixed-top/.
It's not a major problem, but visually not ideal. Any one run into this?
Here is a screenshot of what is happening. http://imgur.com/7rqqo7K
So my Gear app is coming along nicely, but I've run into a bit of a problem with the app icons. I've designed a nice white-outline version of my icon that looks good on the device and fits in with the system apps.
But on the Gear Manager (on the phone), it looks awful, because the background is almost white. Is it possible to specify a different icon for Gear Manager, and if so, how?
No this can't be done as you can have only one icon for the app. But if that white background disturbs you make it transparent.
Why I can't see action settings in action bar in Samsung Mini S3 after simple hello world compilation where it shows up in Nexus 7. Is it depend on somehow in app theme the one I am using? I tried to change app theme but it looks like it always takes Nexus S layout even i select Samsung Mini Display size. Any idea ?
PS. I also can't select Samsung Mini Display size 800*480 where in ADB i have option 480*800
If you are using the default action bar which gets created in a new android application you will of course not see the overflow menu on the samsung mini S3 because if i am not mistaken then s3 mini has a hard button on the left which will open up the overflow menu for you
To make this question more relevant to the general users out there, if you are having problems with your app icon not being what you want it to be, or something similar, make sure that your icon is the same across all drawable folders.
I'm running into this issue with my app icon, affectionately named ic_launcher.png. I have been testing my app on the Samsung Galaxy S4 [Sprint] [Stock] and the first icon showed up and everything was normal. I recently changed the app icon to something else, (with the same name, i just made a different icon for it) but the old icon just won't go away when I install the app on the s4. I have cleared data and cache and uninstalled several times, I have even changed the package name, I'm fairly certain this TouchWiz specific because I have CM10.1 on my SII and it updated the icon fine. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Maybe you have the old icon in the drawable-xxhdpi folder? because s4 will get the launcher icon from this folder.
