iOS Question 100%x 100%y weirdness

[sorex]

Hello,

I have an iPhone 4s when I look up the specs I see that it should be 640x960.

When I do a log(100%X) it prints 320 to the log, log(100%y) prints 480.

What am I missing here?

Look at chapter 5.1 Coordinates in the B4i Beginner's Guide.

I'm getting some odd results from 100%x and 100%y. I've read the section on coordinates but it doesn't explain what I'm seeing.

The following piece of code:

Public NavControl As NavigationController
Private pPopup As Page

pPopup.Initialize("Popup")
NavControl.Initialize ("")

App.KeyController = NavControl
NavControl.ShowPage(pPopup)
Log ("pPopup.rootpanel, width=" & pPopup.RootPanel.Width & ", height=" & pPopup.RootPanel.Height)
Log ("100%x=" & 100%x & ", 100%y=" & 100%y)

results in the following log entries:

pPopup.rootpanel, width=320, height=504
100%x=320, 100%y=89

why is 100%y returning 89?

This is running on an iPhone 5.

I don't know if it's relevant, but before these calls I was using a TabControl to manage some other pages, but I expected assigning App.KeyController = NavControl would mean the pages that I display now would be unaffected by what went before in the TabControl.

Thanks,

Hugh

%x and %y are only correct inside Page_Resize events.

That it explains, but makes life a bit more complicated ;^)

try to use this

Dim LV As LayoutValues = GetDeviceLayoutValues
Page1.RootPanel.AddView(gmap, 0, 0, LV.Width,   LV.Height)

 

[Hugh Thomas]

Thanks for the suggestion. Does this get the layout values for the currently displayed page (i.e. taking into account space taken up by the TabControl etc)?

As this problem only affected one routine, which was being passed the rootpanel of the page it was to display on, I ended up getting the width/height of the rootpanel and using that. Another in the long line of hurdles to jump in porting my app to iOS ;^)

The only place where the page size is guaranteed to be correct is inside Page_Resize event.

my app only works in portrait ,and page resize will be called just once so how can i responsibly create views in different pages?? without using %x and %y

Note that you should have started a new thread for this question.

Page_Resize event of each page will fire at least once. However it is better to design the interface with the visual designer and then you don't need to handle this event at all.
