<p>Multiple APK support is a feature in Android Market that allows you to publish multiple APKs
|
||
|
|
under the same application listing. Each APK is a complete instance of your application, optimized
|
||
|
|
to target specific device configurations. Each APK can target a specific set of GL
|
||
|
|
textures, API levels, screen sizes, or some combination thereof.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This class shows you how to write your multiple APK application using any one of these
|
||
|
|
configuration variables. Each lesson covers basics about how to organize your codebase and target
|
||
|
|
the right devices, as well as the smart way to avoid pitfalls such as unnecessary redundancy across
|
||
|
|
your codebase, and making mistakes in your manifest that could render an APK invisible to all
|
||
|
|
devices in Android Market. By going through any of these lessons, you'll know how to develop
|
||
|
|
multiple APKs the smart way, make sure they're targeting the devices you want them to,
|
||
|
|
and know how to catch mistakes <em>before</em> your app goes live.</p>
