Android Question Tablet Layout problem

[Marcelo Herrera]

I wrote an app using a 5" screen phone. Now that I used the UI cloud to see how it looks on other devices, the layout screen is the same but some of the labels and edittext boxes are cut in half. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

Also when I upload the APK file to the GooglePlay store i get the message that I should design my app for Tablets as well as phones.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Erel, I have been using the dip units for scaling. However, I noticed that for 7 and 10 inch tablets, some of the labels, mostly when they have two lines written, they only show the first line and half of the second. I haven't been using any scaling for the text size, only the text size option in the designer page. Attached is a screenshot of one of the screens that show this problem.

Are you calling AutoScaleAll in the designer script?

Yes I was. That fixed most of the problem. The buttons were still a little off but i fixed them by changing the text size. Thanks a lot for your help Erel.
