Android Question How to set up basic app screen that scales?

[Scotter]

I got into B4A over 2.5 years ago. Built a very simple app.
Didn't use B4A for over 2 years. Forgot much of the little I'd learned.
Never learned how to set up a screen so it would scale well to all Android devices.
It didn't seem easy. I don't expect easy, ha!
But, I will admit I'd like it to be as easy as possible.
I wonder two things:
- What changes have been made to the framework - if any - that make this creation process easier?
- Is there a tutorial that shows how to set this up? Using relevant features - if any - in the newest version of B4A?
Thank you!

You may want to start learning basics from booklets created by Erel.

i think you need minimum a phone and tablet variant in designer.
the sizes are in DIP (Density Independent Pixel).
it make no sense to scale a textbox 4x bigger if you can read it a 1x zoom.
it make also no sense to scale it smaller if the user can not read it any more.
most important are the anchors in design view.

Good advice, however the credit goes to Klaus.

I recommend you to watch the visual designer tutorial:

Start with a single variant. In many cases it will be enough. The fewer variants the better.
