How do I Design Game For Tablets

Hello,

I have followed a really nice tutorial which solves all the problems for fitting the game into almost all screen sizes. I have launched the game on Google Play the Layout size of the game is 640 x 960 in portrait orientation. A couple of days after I checked my Google play and it has a notification saying that the game is not designed for tablet. I have attached a picture of it:

Please let me know how do I solve this issue?

Is it because of small layout size?

Thank you

I've asked about this but I don't think I got an response so I guess nobody knows.

With one app I get only the first warning "Your layout should make use of the available space on tablets."

With another I get "Your layout should make use of the available space on 10-inch tablets." and "Upload at least one screenshot for 7-inch tablets" (which I could do)

With a 3rd and 4th app I get no warnings...

What is your scaling settings? Letterbox Scale?

Try using scale outer

I am using scale outer in the first app.

Hello,

I am using scale outer.

I have tested my game tablet as well as ipad and it works fine on them. The game is listed as game made for phones in play store and I am not sure how to fix that

Lordshiva1948

This is exactly what I did. I followed your tutorial and it works very good but the only problem is from Google play store. Do you have any idea how to fix that please?

mohdaftab sorry I do not understand your question. Please explain

Please refer to the main picture I have posted in this thread about the tablets.

Lordshiva1948 the problem is that our apps actually do work fine on tablets, but Google Play does not recognize this.

After some digging, it seems our android-manifest does contain

[quote:2jke615m]<supports-screens android:anyDensity="true" android:largeScreens="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:resizeable="true" android:smallScreens="true" android:xlargeScreens="true"/>

which seems like it should do the job, however we still get the warning.

We get warnings and also one of my game is not searchable for my tablet but it is searchable in galaxy s3 and s2 for me.

I have seen the main pic. I have designed and tested many games with Samsung Tab, Asus Tab, Samsung S5, S4, HTC 1, Sony, I don't get that problem. Export it like Ashley tutorial and you will never go wrong

Are you talking about this tutorial? https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/73/sup ... reen-sizes

What if I change the layout size to double like 1280 x 1920 and make the game according to that size, is it going to help?

Thanks

Read exactly what Ashley has explained then decide for yourself. One more thing when you using your PC for testing you use Letterbox Scale and then export it with outer scale
