Android Screen Compatibility Mode

Reference: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screen-compat-mode.html

When running Android apps on tablets, it basically means:
  1. If app is built to Android 1.5 and below, app will display fine on all newer devices, but in "postage stamp" mode.
  2. If app is built to Android 1.6 and after, app will display fine on all newer devices up till 3.1 ONLY IF it has been developed and tested to support all the screen sizes.
  3. However, on Android 3.2, it can display well in the new "Compatibility Mode", which scales up the app.
