Custom Screen Resolution in Android

    So the other day I had to create a very specific layout for a very specific and non-standard screen resolution. Previously, I could create such a resolution in Eclipse when editing a layout.

    In the meantime I'd updated the SDK and found that I'd seemingly lost the ability to create custom resolutions, and was only given the choice of a number of standard ones. Eventually I found a rather inelegant and time consuming way around this and got the job done.

    Question is; is there a better option? Can I still create custom resolutions in layout edit, or can I use another program to do this?

    Can you not just edit the height and width in the xml?

    It's the layout editor that I want to be able to get to support such custom resolutions.

    Have you changed your android target to an older version? If you target a newer version the options may reappear.

    Nope. As I said, the option to create custom resolutions is gone altogether, seemingly by design.
