TabHost and AutoScaleAll

[doncx]

Hi -

I'm getting started with b4a v2.5.2 and am on the steep learning curve.

I've done a lot wrong and have learned a lot! Things are going generally well.

I'm now using the Designer to create layouts. I have it set to 320x480 scale=1 and have AutoScaleRate(1) and AutoScaleAll.

When I create a layout with a TabHost and then add a couple of tabs, they do not scale properly - the right edge gets clipped off at all dimensions/densities - even at 320x480.

I've tried a number of things to make them work more easily than just holding views away from the right margin, but nothing has proven reliable.

What's the secret to TabHost and AutoScale?

Thanks for your assistance,

- Don

The scale rate should normally be between 0.1 to 0.5. A scale rate of 1.0 may cause some of the views to move out of the screen. If you want your layout to linearly stretch then you should use %x / %y instead of 'dip' units.

Thanks, Erel. I'll work with it.
