DROID RAZR cuts off bottom of activity

[vb1992]

I tested an app on the new Verizon DROID RAZR by Motorola, and
the DROID BIONIC by Motorola last night, and noticed that the
bottom button was only showing half of it.

The button itself is 50 height, and I use

SearchButton.top = activity.height - 50

to place it on the bottom

My Activity is set to ShowTitle/True and Fullscreen/False
it was designed in the Abstract designer using
"Match Chosen Variant"

Has anyone see this problem?
Seems to be chopping off 25dips
on 2 devices....

Does this have anything to do with the

Notification Bar Height:
The notification bar height is 25dip in most devices.

I ran into a similar thing going from Moto DroidX to Moto Droid Charge. What I ended up doing was to convert my app to have only dynamically generated activities, using percentages for x and y.

I.e. SearchButton.Top = Activity.Height - 10%y.
Or...
SearchButton.Top = 90%y
Or...
Activity.AddView(SearchButton, 0%x, 90%y, 50%x, 50dip)

Din't know the properties of your button, but the AddView will add a button 50 high and half as wide as the screen, to the bottom-left corner of the screen.

Hope this helps.

You have to calculate in dips:

SearchButton.top = activity.height - 50dip

I agree. Since I'm using percentage I don't have any problems more with the downloads.

Thanks, I will test both

activity.height - 50dip

and

the Percentages

and report back the results....
