Avoid using the app on tablet devices

Question

I am working on an android application that supports android versions 2.1 and 2.2. And I do not want my application to be installed on any of the Android tablets. Is there a way to achieve this in Android, as if we were making any changes to the application manifest file, something like that. Any help is much appreciated ... Or is there a way to prevent our application from getting into the tablet device market after we released the application. But it must be listed on the Android mobile phone market.

Answer 1

Depends on which devices you really do not want to support. What are your criteria? Big screen? In this case you can add

<supports-screens android:largeScreens="false" />

To the AndroidManifest.xml file. But actually it depends on what you are trying to block here. There is a thin line between the tablet and the phone - they work with the same OS and have the same capabilities as the ability to make phone calls. Think about which function you want to use as a criterion, and then find the value you want to use in the manifest file.

This whole answer is nonsense, I just keep it here for Dianna's comment, because it is the only voice of reason here. Bottom line - the tablet is an ordinary Android device, it will work with the same software.
