Will setting <supports-screens android:smallScreens="false"> hide the App in the Android Market for such devices?

I am asking because i开发者_JAVA技巧 can install the app on a device with a small screen via the file system. Thanks for Help.

“Supporting Multiple Screens” is pretty clear about this:

Assume that you declare smallScreens="false" normalScreens="false" largeScreens="true" xlargeScreens="true" in your application's manifest. Android Market filters the application from users of devices with small and normal size screens. In effect, this prevents such users from installing the application.

If the device is larger than the app supports, compatibility features are applied. If the device is smaller than the app supports, it is hidden from the Market.

Those settings determine what devices see what apps in the market. So yes if you do smallScreens=false, devices which are considered to have small screens will not see the app in the market.
