[android-developers] Re: Optimal packaging of image app for various screen resolutions

Hi Sterling,

Thanks for your answer (and I added a vote to your feature request
since it perfectly describes the trouble at hand ;-).

So you agree that with an image-heavy app splitting up into various
apk's is good practice, but there currently aren't any good tools for
it? Hmm... maybe I'll have write my own build scripts with something
like AndroidAnt (http://code.google.com/p/autoandroid/wiki/AndroidAnt)
or does anybody have another good build-your-own-android-build-script
alternative?

Cheers,

Johan
