[android-developers] Re: images not scaled to screen size

Thank you Kumar.

I will corss check that property of Scaletype.

Actually I dont have problem with the emulator. Things work very fine
with the different type of emulator (small, medium, large). I have
ported android to fsl-imx51 board which inturn is connected to a 17"
monitor. It is, with this monitor where I see that images are not
scaled to fit the screen size. As i said earlier, android is
considering the images present in the folder mdpi for this display.
Which means that this display(17" monitor) is registering itself as
"medium".

Now, I wonder why is this display (17" monitor) registering as
"medium". Further the images in the folder mdpi should have been
scaled to fit the screen which actually is not happening.

Vinay.
