How do I test the different screen sizes of the devices?
Screenfly is a free tool for testing a website on different screen sizes and different devices. It’s been around for a few years now, but it’s still popular and does its job extremely well.

Does screen size matter for resolution?
Screen size and screen resolution aren’t directly related. Since the resolution of both devices is the same, they’ll be able to show exactly the same image (in terms of numbers of pixels) – it’s just that the image on the computer screen will look much larger because of the larger physical dimensions of the monitor.
How do I check my screen size?
The size of a desktop computer monitor is determined by physically measuring the screen. Using a measuring tape, start at the top-left corner and pull it diagonally to the bottom-right corner. Be sure to only measure the screen; do not include the bezel (the plastic edge) around the screen.
How is the resolution of a screen measured?
Anyone with a tape can measure the screen size. Screen resolution is measured by the number of pixels displayed in each dimension. In order to calculate the pixels per inch, you need to know the screen size as well as the resolution.
Can a program be written independent of screen resolution?
I am trying to write program in vb 2010 that is independent of screen resolution. I am designing the program in 1920*1080 and when I change the resolution to e.g. 800*600 everything blows up and the program won’t fit the screen.

Why is it important to support different screen sizes?
By supporting as many screens as possible, your app can be made available to the greatest number of users with different devices, using a single APK. Additionally, making your app flexible for different screen sizes ensures that your app can handle window configuration changes on the device, such as when the user enables multi-window mode.
