+hardware or emulator environment for testing. </p>
+
+<p>The ideal test environment would
+include a small number of actual hardware devices that represent key form
+factors and hardware/software combinations currently available to consumers.
+It's not necessary to test on <em>every</em> device that's on the market &mdash;
+rather, you should focus on a small number of representative devices, even using
+one or two devices per form factor. </p>
+
+<p>If you are not able to obtain actual hardware devices for testing, you should
+set up emulated devices (AVDs) to represent the most common form factors and
+hardware/software combinations. </p>
+
+<p>To go beyond basic testing, you can add more devices, more form factors, or
+new hardware/software combinations to your test environment. You can also
+increase the number or complexity of tests and quality criteria. </p>

+
+
+<p>Before you publish an app on Google Play, it's important to make sure that
+the app meets the basic expectations of tablet users, through compelling features
+and an intuitive, well-designed UI. </p>
+
+<p>Tablets are a growing part of the Android installed base that offers new
+opportunities for <a
+href="{@docRoot}distribute/googleplay/spotlight/tablets.html">user engagement
+and monetization</a>. If your app is targeting tablet users, this document helps
+you focus on key aspects of quality, feature set, and UI that can have a
+significant impact on the app's success. Each focus area is given as checklist
+item, with each one comprising several smaller tasks or best practices.</p>
+
+<p>Although the checklist tasks below are numbered for convenience, 
+you can handle them in any order and address them to the extent that you feel
+is right for your app. In the interest of delivering the best possible product
+to your customers, follow the checklist recommendations
+to the greatest extent possible. </p>
+
+<p>As you move through the checklist, you'll find links to support resources
+that can help you address the topics raised in each task.</p>
+
+
+<h2 id="core-app-quality">1. Test for Core App Quality</h2>
+
+<p>The first step in delivering a great tablet app experience is making sure
+that it meets the <em>core app
+quality criteria</em> for all of the devices and form factors that the app is
+targeting. For complete information, see the <a
+href="{@docRoot}distribute/googleplay/quality/core.html">Core App Quality Checklist</a>. 
+</p>
+
+<p>To assess the quality of your app on tablets &mdash; both for core app quality
+and tablet app quality &mdash; you need to set up a suitable
+hardware or emulator environment for testing. For more information, 
+see <a href="#test-environment">Setting Up a Test Environment</a>.</p>
+
+
+<h2 id="optimize-layouts">2. Optimize your layouts for larger screens</h2>
+
+<p>Android makes it easy to develop an app that runs well on a wide range of
+device screen sizes and form factors. This broad compatibility works in your
+favor, since it helps you design a single app that you can distribute widely to
+all of your targeted devices. However, to give your users the best possible
+experience on each screen configuration &mdash; in particular on tablets
+&mdash; you need to optimize your layouts and other UI components for each
+targeted screen configuration. On tablets, optimizing your UI lets you take
+full advantage of the additional screen available, such as to offer new features,
+present new content, or enhance the experience in other ways to deepen user
+engagement.</p>
+
+<p>If you developed your app for handsets and now want to distribute it to
+tablets, you can start by making minor adjustments to your layouts, fonts, and
+spacing. In some cases &mdash; such as for 7-inch tablets or for a game with
+large canvas &mdash; these adjustments may be all
+you need to make your app look great. In other cases, such as for larger
+tablets, you can redesign parts of your UI to replace "stretched UI" with an
+efficient multipane UI, easier navigation, and additional content. </p>
+
+<p>Here are some suggestions:</p>
+
+<div style="width:390px;float:right;margin:1.5em;margin-top:0em;">

+style="font-weight:500;">Get rid of "stretched" UI</span>: On tablets, single-pane layouts lead to awkward whitespace and excessive line lengths. Use padding to reduce the width of UI elements and consider using multi-pane layouts.</p>
+</div>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Provide custom layouts as needed for <code>large</code> and
+<code>xlarge</code> screens. You can also provide layouts that are loaded based
+on the screen's <a href="{@docRoot}guide/practices/screens_support.html#NewQualifiers">shortest
+dimension</a> or the <a href="{@docRoot}guide/practices/screens_support.html#NewQualifiers">minimum
+available width and height</a>. </li>
+<li>At a minimum, customize dimensions such as font sizes, margins, spacing for
+larger screens, to improve use of space and content legibility. </li>
+<li>Adjust positioning of UI controls so that they are easily accessible to
+users when holding a tablet, such as toward the sides when in
+landscape orientation.</li>
+<li>Padding of UI elements should normally be larger on tablets than on handsets. A
+<a href="{@docRoot}design/style/metrics-grids.html#48dp-rhythm">48dp rhythm</a> (and a 16dp
+grid) is recommended.</li>
+<li>Adequately pad text content so that it is not aligned directly along screen edges.
+Use a minimum <code>16dp</code> padding around content near screen edges.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>In particular, make sure that your layouts do not appear "stretched"
+across the screen:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Lines of text should not be excessively long &mdash; optimize for a maximum
+100 characters per line, with best results between 50 and 75.</li>
+<li>ListViews and menus should not use the full screen width.</li>
+<li>Use padding to manage the widths of onscreen elements or switch to a
+multi-pane UI for tablets (see next section).</li>

+
+<p>As you consider the UI of your app when running on tablets, make sure that it

+
+<ul>
+<li>Look for opportunities to include additional content or use an alternative
+treatment of existing content.</li>
+<li>Use <a href="{@docRoot}design/patterns/multi-pane-layouts.html">multi-pane
+layouts</a> on tablet screens to combine single views into a compound view. This
+lets you use the additional screen area more efficiently and makes it easier for
+users to navigate your app. </li>

+
+<li>While a single screen is implemented as an {@link android.app.Activity}
+subclass, consider implementing individual content panels as {@link
+android.app.Fragment} subclasses. This lets you maximize code reuse across
+different form factors and across screens that share content.</li>
+<li>Decide on which screen sizes you'll use a multi-pane UI, then provide the

+<h2 id="adjust-font-sizes">5. Adjust font sizes and touch targets for tablet screens</h2>
+
+<p>To make sure your app is easy to use on tablets, take some time to adjust the
+font sizes and touch targets in your tablet UI, for all of the screen
+configurations you are targeting. You can adjust font sizes through <a
+href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/ui/themes.html">styleable attributes</a> or <a
+href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/resources/more-resources.html#Dimension">dimension
+resources</a>, and you can adjust touch targets through layouts and bitmap
+drawables, as discussed above. </p>
+
+<p>Here are some considerations:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Text should not be excessively large or small on tablet screen sizes and
+densities. Make sure that labels are sized appropriately for the UI elements they
+correspond to, and ensure that there are no improper line breaks in labels,
+titles, and other elements.</li>
+<li>The recommended touch-target size for onscreen elements is 48dp (32dp
+minimum) &mdash; some adjustments may be needed in your tablet UI. Read <a
+href="http://developer.android.com/design/style/metrics-grids.html">Metrics and
+Grids
+</a> to learn about implementation strategies to help most of your users. To
+meet the accessibility needs of certain users, it may be appropriate to use
+larger touch targets. </li>
+<li>When possible, for smaller icons, expand the touchable area to more than
+48dp using {@link android.view.TouchDelegate} or just centering the icon within
+the transparent button.</li>

+<h2 id="offer-full-feature-set">7. Offer the app's full feature set to tablet users</h2>
+
+<p>Let your tablet users experience the best features of your app. Here are
+some recommendations:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Design your app to offer at least the same set of features on tablets as it does on
+handsets. </li>
+<li>In exceptional cases, your app might omit or replace certain features on
+tablets if they are not supported by the hardware or use-case of most tablets.
+For example:
+<ul>
+<li>If the handset uses telephony features but telephony is not available on the
+current tablet, you can omit or replace the related functionality.</li>
+<li>Many tablets have a GPS sensor, but most users would not normally carry
+their tablets while running. If your phone app provides functionality to let the
+user record a GPS track of their runs while carrying their phones, the app would not need to
+provide that functionality on tablets because the use-case is not
+compelling.</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+<li>If you will omit a feature or capability from your tablet UI, make sure
+that it is not accessible to users or that it offers “graceful degradation”
+to a replacement feature (also see the section below on hardware features).</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h2 id="hardware-requirements">8. Don’t require hardware features that might not be available on tablets</h2>
+
+<p>Handsets and tablets typically offer slightly different hardware support for
+sensors, camera, telephony, and other features. For example, many tablets are
+available in a "Wi-Fi" configuration that does not include telephony support.</p>
+
+<p>To ensure that you can deliver a single APK broadly across the
+your full customer base, make sure that your app does not have built-in
+requirements for hardware features that aren't commonly available on tablets.
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Your app's manifest should not include <a
+href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-element.html"><code>&lt;uses-feature&gt;</code></a>
+elements for hardware features or capabilities that might not be
+available on tablets, except when they are declared with the
+<code>android:required=”false”</code> attribute. For example, your app should
+not <em>require</em> features such as:
+<ul>
+<li><code>android.hardware.telephony</code></li>
+<li><code>android.hardware.camera</code> (refers to back camera), or</li>
+<li><code>android.hardware.camera.front</code></li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+<li>Similarly, your app manifest should not include any <a
+href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/permission-element.html"><code>&lt;permission&gt;</code></a> elements that <a
+href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-element.html#permissions">imply
+feature requirements</a> that might not be appropriate for tablets, except when
+accompanied by a corresponding <code>&lt;uses-feature&gt;</code> element
+declared with the <code>android:required=”false”</code> attribute.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>In all cases, the app must function normally when the hardware features it
+uses are not available and should offer “graceful degradation” and alternative
+functionality where appropriate. For example, if GPS is not supported on the device,
+your app could let the user set their location manually. The app should do
+run-time checking for the hardware capability that it needs and handle as needed.</p>

+  <ul style="margin-top:.25em;">
+    <li>Easier for users to find your app from search, browsing, or promotions</li>
+    <li>Easier for users to restore your app automatically if they get a new device.</li>

+
+<li>Highlight your app’s tablet capabilities in the product details page:
+  <ul style="margin-top:.25em;">
+    <li>Add <strong>at least one screenshot taken while the app is running on a
+    tablet</strong>. It's recommended that you add one screenshot of landscape orientation
+    and one of portrait orientation, if possible. These screenshots make it clear to users
+    that your app is designed for tablets and highlight all the effort you've put into designing
+    a great tablet app experience.</li>

+<h2 id="test-environment">Setting Up a Test Environment for Tablets</h2>
+
+<p>To assess the quality of your app on tablets &mdash; both for core app quality
+and tablet app quality &mdash; you need to set up a suitable
+hardware or emulator environment for testing. </p>
+
+<p>The ideal test environment would
+include a small number of actual hardware devices that represent key form
+factors and hardware/software combinations currently available to consumers.
+It's not necessary to test on <em>every</em> device that's on the market &mdash;
+rather, you should focus on a small number of representative devices, even using
+one or two devices per form factor.  The table below provides an overview of
+devices you could use for testing.</p>
+
+<p>If you are not able to obtain actual hardware devices for testing, you should
+set up emulated devices (AVDs) to represent the most common form factors and
+hardware/software combinations. See the table below for suggestions on the emulator
+configurations to use. </p>
+
+<p>To go beyond basic testing, you can add more devices, more form factors, or
+new hardware/software combinations to your test environment. For example, you
+could include mid-size tablets, tablets with more or fewer hardware/software
+features, and so on. You can also increase the number or complexity of tests
+and quality criteria. </p>

+page.title=Developer Stories: The Opportunity of Android Tablets
+walkthru=0

+
+@jd:body
+
+
+<p>More and more, developers are investing in a full tablet experience
+for their apps and are seeing those investments pay off big. The increased
+screen area on tablets opens up a world of possibilities, allowing for more
+engagement with the user &mdash; which can mean an increase in usage as well as
+more monetization opportunities. And with the growing wave of Android tablets that
+continue to hit the market, it’s an important piece of any developer’s mobile
+offering. </p>
+
+<p>Here are some stories from developers who are seeing real results as they
+expand their offering to include Android tablets.</p>
+
+

+    <p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:12px;">When Intuit was thinking about
+expanding their Mint mobile offering to include a version optimized for Android
+tablets, they knew that taking the layout that worked for phones and simply
+showing an enlarged version wouldn’t take full advantage of the opportunities
+that tablets afford.</p>
+    
+    <p>“We knew we had a lot more real estate, and we wanted to provide a more
+immersive experience for our users” said Ken Sun, Intuit Group Product Manager
+at Mint.</p>
+
+<p>Intuit’s Mint app, which has a 4-star rating on Google Play, brings a number
+of features to Android tablets that aren’t available for phones, including a
+more visual presentation of personal financial data.</p>
+
+<p>“Whereas our app for phones is used throughout the day for quick sessions,
+we’ve seen a larger percentage of our tablet usage happen in the evening, for
+much longer sessions,” said Sun. “People are doing a lot more than just checking
+their spending. They’re looking at historical trends, re-categorizing
+transactions, analyzing the data and setting financial goals for the future
+&mdash; digging much deeper and being more thoughtful. One example is how much
+users are interacting with their own budgets in the tablet app.  Customer budget
+operations (view, edit, drill-down, etc.) are 7x higher on Android tablets than
+they are on phones.”</p>
+
+<p>Fifty percent more Android tablet users have Mint sessions of 5 minutes or
+longer than they do on phones.  “We’ve found that phone usage is indicative of a
+customer’s regular financial check-in, while tablet usage points towards more
+analysis and interaction with that customer’s personal financial data.  This is
+the sort of immersive engagement experience we were looking for; the tablet and
+phone apps serve as great complements to each other."</p>

+    <p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:12px;">Over a year ago, developer
+TinyCo, makers of games such as Tiny Monsters, switched to a
+simultaneous launch strategy for their products. They chose Android as one of their
+primary launch platforms because of its large installed base and global reach. They
+also knew that the growing base of Android tablet users represented a huge
+opportunity. </p>
+    
+    <p>Tiny Village was their first title to take advantage of the strategy, and
+it proved to be a winning one &mdash; especially in terms of Android
+tablets.</p>
+    
+    <p> “With continued optimization of the gameplay experience and a genuine
+commitment to our Android offering through our Griffin engine, all of our
+metrics started to rise,” said Rajeev Nagpal, Head of Product at TinyCo. In
+fact, they’ve seen Android tablet downloads more than triple in the last six
+months.</p>
+
+    <p>One of the first things they noticed about usage of Tiny Village on
+tablets was an increase in average revenue per paying user (ARPPU)&mdash;about 35%
+higher than on smaller-screen devices such as phones. Additionally, average
+revenue per user ARPU is now about 35% higher as well. “The game is just much
+more immersive on tablet.”</p>
+
+    <p>In addition to an increase in monetization metrics, they’ve also seen a
+consistent increase in retention over other platforms. “These are really
+important metrics for games &mdash; if you can get users to both stay around
+longer and spend more while they’re there, you have a recipe for success.”</p>

+for saving web content to read later. Developer Mobelux decided that creating a
+great UI for Android tablet users would be an essential part of their initial launch
+plan.</p>
+    
+    <p>The app launched at the beginning of the summer of 2012, just in time to
+take advantage of a new tide of Android tablets, including the <span
+style="white-space:nowrap;">Nexus 7</span> tablet. The app has since seen huge
+popularity among tablet users, in particular, on Nexus 7. On the day that
+pre-orders of Nexus 7 began arriving, Mobelux saw a 600% jump in downloads of
+its app on Google Play.</p>
+
+    <p>“We saw a promising new set of Android tablets about to hit the market
+and wanted to position ourselves to be ready for them” said Jeff Rock of
+Mobelux. “It was a market that others were hesitant to explore, but the decision
+to prioritize tablets has paid off very well for us.”</p>
+
+    <p>Since that initial 600% jump in downloads, Instapaper for Android has
+continued to see a successful run on Android tablets. In fact, Android tablets
+now represent about 50% of their installed base. “With more and more Android
+tablets coming online, we’re excited to see how our investment in Android
+tablets continues to pay off.”</p>

 <p>
 In usability and in app design too, you should listen carefully to your users. Ask a handful of real Android device users (friends, family, etc.) to try out your app and observe them as they interact with it. Look for cases where they get confused, are unsure of how to proceed, or are surprised by certain behaviors. Minimize these cases by rethinking some of the interactions in your app, perhaps working in some of the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1ZBjlCRfz0">user interface patterns</a> the Android UI team discussed at Google I/O.</p>

 Another way to incrementally improve usability, based on real-world data, is to implement <a href="http://code.google.com/mobile/analytics/docs/">Analytics</a> throughout your app to log usage of particular sections. Consider demoting infrequently used sections to the overflow menu in the <a href="{@docRoot}design/patterns/actionbar.html">Action bar</a>, or removing them altogether. For often-used sections and UI elements, make sure they're immediately obvious and easily accessible in your app's UI so that users can get to them quickly.</p>
 <p>
 Lastly, usability is an extensive and well-documented subject, with close ties to interface design, cognitive science, and other disciplines.</p>
