Softmenu / Topbar

[Silentsea]

Hi there,

our designer gives me a draft which I have to implement, because of the amount of devices and different screen ratios, I thought I will put a black panel in top or bottom of my layout. Maybe at the sides if it will be a device with a ratio smaller in height as the draft.

My stupid question: Is there a way to detect if the device has a softmenu or a topmenu? It cannot be the Android Version, I think I have read something about display size, that soft menus will be only on tabs. My Galaxy Tab 7.7 has a soft menu at the bottom, my old Galaxy Tab 7 has a top bar.

If there is no way I have to center the layout.

If you use the following code to determine the screen size, it will automatically give you the working screen size that your code needs to work with.

In other words, you don't need to worry about the soft keys or where they are located.

Sub Get_Screen_Resolution
   Main.pScreenWidth=GetDeviceLayoutValues.Width
   Main.pScreenHeight=GetDeviceLayoutValues.Height
   Main.pScale=GetDeviceLayoutValues.Scale
   If Main.pScale= 0.75 Then
   Main.pDPI="120"
   End If
   If Main.pScale= 1 Then
   Main.pDPI="160"
   End If
   If Main.pScale= 1.5 Then
   Main.pDPI="240"
   End If
   If Main.pScale=2 Then
   Main.pDPI="320"
   End If
End Sub

Here is an alternative to the above code:

Sub Get_Screen_Resolution As Int
 Return GetDeviceLayoutValues.Scale * 160
End Sub

Though I don't see why this code is needed.
