Archos A101 - Layout values

[GabrielM]

Hi

While I do not have an actual Archos A101 10" with me to test, I would like to write an app for it. I have found so far that the screen res is 1024x600.

Is there anyone here on the forum using such a tablet ? and if so is it possible to let me know the real X, Y and layout values using : "GetDeviceLayoutValues" , please.

Many thanks.

I have attached a simple code for you to test:

Update:

I have found someone with an Archos A101 and run the apk above.

Result as showed in the messagebox:

 Density=1 Scale= 1 height=600 width=1024

I have tried to run an app written for the above density and scale, that is the app should show a 1024x600 bitmap on the screen.
Thing is that the image shown is larger than the screen :BangHead:

I have tested with a scale of 1.075 and it looks that the 1024x600 bmp is shown Ok on the screen.

Still, if I want to add one gif with some transparency areas (same size as the bmp 1024x600) the transparent areas will be colored white.

The scale is 1.0. It cannot be 1.075. Have you set the application to be full screen?

Hi,

I'm not sure your quick test of layout values goes far enough.

I have a 101 G8 and came up with the following figures.

Density: 1
Scale: 1
Height: 600
Width: 1024

Now, with INCLUDE TITLE checked I get -

Activity.Height 923 (P) or 543 (L)
Activity.Width 600 (P) or 980 (L)

with INCLUDE TITLE unchecked -

Activity.Height 948 (P) or 568 (L)
Activity.Width 600(P) 980 (L)

Finally, for fullscreen I get -

Activity.Height 980 (P) or 600 (L)
Activity.Width 600 (P) or 980 (L)

Actually it was a worthwhile exercise foe me to, I never tried to work it out before, always used %x and %y.

The on-screen button bar for home, menu etc never disappears and is always at either bottom (P) or right (L) and 48 pixels high/wide.

Anyway, hope that helps.

Hi Errel,

Yes , I have compiled it for full screen landscape only . So that must be the error I guess. Thank you.


@ DarkMann

Thank you DarkMann, very helpful to know about that bar. It is always present in the right side (i.e. when tablet hold in landscape mode) and I thought is just similar to P1000 Samsung tablet.

I will re-size the bitmaps/gif background images to 980x600 and see how it goes.
