Android Question Probelm with S6 screens

[Alberto Michelis]

Hi, following the advices about screen design I have all done in 380x420 with AutoScaleAll and anchors and in some cases a variant to landscape mode.
It seams to go well even in tablets but today a friend bought a Samsung S6 which has a thin and large screen and... see images of the main menu.
Im using

    Private FA As FontAwesome
    FA.Initialize
    bTenencia.Typeface = FA.FontAwesomeTypeface
    bTenencia.Text = FA.GetFontAwesomeIconByName("fa-money") & "  Tenencia"

in the button to have this kind of icons.
Do I have to change the FontSize depending on the screen size?
May this be done with the designer?
Thanks

Are you using the default auto scale rate?

I dont touch nothig about it, when can I look at it? in the designer?

Check the device font settings. Based on the screenshot it seems like the user has increased the font size: http://www.tomsguide.com/faq/id-1768696/increase-decrease-font-size-android-device.html

You can get this value with Accessibility.GetUserFontScale.

And supposing the user change it...
What should I do with the Accessibility.GetUserFontScale value?
Thanks

You can get the scale value with this call.

What you should do with it depends on your app. If you like to cancel this setting then you need to do something similar to: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/get-size-of-system-font-in-use.28065/#post-181853
