I understand that Android's developer site provides information on this topic. I have already read the following three pages:

Supporting Multiple Screens
Screen Sizes and Densites
Icon Design Guidelines

They do not give the information/statistics that I am looking for. Judging from the second link, the two most important screen categories to support are normal-hdpi and normal-mdpi.

The problem is that simply knowing that these two categories are the most popular is of no help to me. The website gives me a range of screen sizes and densities that go into these 开发者_Go百科categories, but the ranges are quite large.

I want to know what the most popular phones are in these two categories. More specifically, I am looking for the most popular resolutions in these two categories.

You can see the resolutions for those categories in the Table 2, in this section: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html#testing

Also, their "device dashboard" stats at:

http://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html#Screens

can be pretty helpful. They are current and derived from Android Market visits.

Another alternative to see popular android resolutions or aspect ratios is Unity statistics:

A blog article from Localytics, Android Not As Fragmented as Many Think, lists most popular Android sizes and resolutions:

Another concern for Android developers is screen size and resolution. Of all app usage analyzed for this study, 41% of all sessions came from Android devices with 4.3 inch screens, by far the most popular size. 4 inch screens accounted for 22% of sessions, 3.2 inch screens for 11%, and 3.7 inch screens contributed 9%.

Resolutions were even less fragmented, however, with the most widely-seen screen resolution – 800 x 480 pixels – contributing 62% of the study’s sessions. The next most popular screen resolutions were 480 x 320 (14%), 960 x 540 (6%), 480 x 854 (5%) and 320 x 240 (5%).

Please note these statistics are from February 2012, which might be outdated today. Also, please always keep in mind that your app might be used under the inch sizes and resolutions not listed in this article.

EDIT: You should also be aware that there are Android "tablets" with large resolutions. The following quote is from the same article I mentioned:

Screen resolution and size are actually even less fragmented than handsets – 74% of Android tablet usage takes place on 7 inch devices with 1024 x 600 resolution. 22% are 10.1 inch devices with 1280 x 800 resolutions, so by taking into account two screen size/resolution combinations, developers should be able to easily reach nearly all of the Android tablet market.

There is now official Device Metrics on the Material Design site, those metrics are a hand picked devices list, not an actual statistics, but it too can be really helpful: https://material.io/devices/

The vast majority of current android 2.1+ phone screens are 480x800 (or in the case of motodroid oddities, 480x854)

However, this doesn't mean this should be your only concern. You need to make it looking good on tablets, and smaller or 4:3 ratio smaller screens.

RelativeLayout is your friend!
