Android HTC Sensation Screen resolution QHD truncated

This is driving me nuts!

Using Eclipse to build an ap开发者_C百科p for my HTC Sensation. On the Main.xml tab in Graphical Layout I've created a QHD device config with Portrait and Landscape qualifiers and screen resolution set to 960x540. All looks great in the graphical layout but when I run on my phone the screen is ALWAYS about 1/4 screen too short!

I get the feeling that device config in eclipse on graphical layout is only for eclipse but doesn't do anything on the phone. If so? Where do i set the overall space I want my app to take up on screen.

My project is just a simple linearlayout with width and height set to "Match Parent"

hope you can help. Thanks in advance.

I like your comment; it worked for me. since you can't answer your own question, i'll post it for you:

change the <uses-sdk.../> in your AndroidManifest.xml to the following:

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" android:targetSdkVersion="8" />

This was the solution for me, but I had to implement it a bit differently...

Using Eclipse I had to set the target SDK in the project properties and the sizing was only correct when using a min SDK version of 4 or higher.
