Android Question galaxy s2

[dgoss]

i can not seem to get s2 to play properly in the designer. I have minsdk = 7 maxsdk =17 ,b4a ver 2.71.
I can't get the layout to display in designer script mode to check it.Attached is act1.bal i hope the is the file u need to check it if u would be so kind.

 

[Erel]

Don't set maxSDK. You should set android:targetSdkVersion instead. Though it is not related to this issue.

Do you get any error message?

Are you running multiple instances of the IDE? The gen folder is locked by another process.

still can not get designer script to autoscale for nexus/galaxy .I'm a bit stuck as to what to do

 

[Erel]

AutoScale scales the layout based on the device physical size compared to 320x480 (scale = 1). The nexus normalized resolution is: 320 x 533 (scale = 1). This means that it is almost identical to the standard size. AutoScale should have a very small effect in this case.

hi Erel

ok got that. But why does it not position the views (ie. panels, labels etc)when in designer script.

 

[Erel]

Seems like the views are hidden by one of the panels.

Hi Erel

Would you mind looking at this one for me pls.

You should attach your project, the layout you posted is missing all the pictures.

To get your project open the IDE and click on FILE -> Export as ZIP

to big to upload whole project, but i have down sized it and u should see what i'm getting at.
i have rem out some of the panels in the designer so u see second panel, but feel free to play with it.

many thx

I'm afraid that you don't really understand AutoScale.
AutoScale supposes a 320 * 480 / 160 or 480 * 320 / 160 standard layout !
Your Panels are bigger than the 'standard' screen ?
You autoscale the layout and then you change everything, so autoscale is of no use.

Do you want to have the layout for different screen sizes or only for one size ?
If it's for one size, define a layout for this screen size.
If it's for different sizes, do you want it for smartphones only or also for tablets.

I don't understand what this is supposed to acheive ?
BtnLeft.Bottom = 100%y +45dip
this means that the bottom of the Button is below the bottom of the screen ?

this line means that the Top of the Panel is above the top of the screen ?
PnlTimes.SetTopAndBottom(0%y,BtnLeft.Top - 10dip)
Is this really what you want ?

This is Label19.Top - 0dip wrong, might or should be Label19.Top = 0

Best regards.

hi Klaus
thx for quick reply.

Thought i understood but guess i got confused somewhere along the line. I am kind of new to this.
Would like to have it for smart phone only, with verious screen sizes to boot.
The line
BtnLeft.Bottom = 100%y +45dip worked for on my phone (i don't know why but it did), i have galaxy note 1.

I'll have to read autoscale tutorial again.

I'll have to read autoscale tutorial again.

Have a look at the Beginner's Guide chapters 8.6 to 8.11

BtnLeft.Bottom = 100%y +45dip Yes it will work, but you are missing the 45dip bottom pixels of the Button on your screen.

Best regards.
