Android Question Same App with different layouts for Tabets

[stu14t]

I have an app that runs on a phone size platform using a Tabhost (4 tabs)

I have copied all the views from each layout and can get them all to fit on a single layout for a 7" and 10" tabs without the tabhost.

I've done a search but can't seem to find what I'm looking for on how to handle these contrasting layouts. e.g making sure the correct view loads for each variant.

I have done it like this:

Dim lv As LayoutValues
lv = GetDeviceLayoutValues
   
DeviceSize = lv.ApproximateScreenSize

If DeviceSize >= 6 Then
    ' code for tablets
Else
    ' code for phones
End If

Ideal,

Many thanks Klaus. Exactly what I need but wasn't sure how to handle loading the correct layout.

Is there a table for the deice sizes for future reference?

 

[klaus]

Not that I know.
Every time new screen sizes apear.

Thanks Klaus, works a treat but now all the tab orders are wrong

Oh well, you cant have everything

... works a treat but now all the tab orders are wrong

Which tab order do you mean ?

Between the EditTexts. I've sorted it out using the Field Order class

What I said was slightly misleading, I was using TAB order in the old VB sense not Tabs from the Tabhost
