Answer 1

Or you could set target sdk version to 1.5 or 1.6. I haven't really tried it yet, but I read somewhere that doing so limits the application to be displayed in a lower resolution.

Answer 2

You can explicitly define your layout width and height in layout xmls to be 800*480 for all the un-supported resolutions like 1024x600.

A list of sample layout folders:

res/layout/my_layout.xml // layout for normal screen size ("default")

res/layout-small/my_layout.xml // layout for small screen size

res/layout-large/my_layout.xml // layout for large screen size

res/layout-xlarge/my_layout.xml // layout for extra large screen size

res/layout-xlarge-land/my_layout.xml // layout for extra large in landscape orientation

res/drawable-mdpi/my_icon.png // bitmap for medium density

res/drawable-hdpi/my_icon.png // bitmap for high density

res/drawable-xhdpi/my_icon.png // bitmap for extra high density

In case of 3.2 or later, you can define layout files for tablets as well:

res/layout/main_activity.xml # For handsets (smaller than 600dp available width)

res/layout-sw600dp/main_activity.xml # For 7” tablets (600dp wide and bigger)

res/layout-sw720dp/main_activity.xml # For 10” tablets (720dp wide and bigger)

I don't recommend fix your width and height to a specific value but since it's client request, I guess you have to take it.
