hwatech Member Licensed User Longtime User May 3, 2021 #1 I am wondering why I am getting differences in the user interface of my app when created using the designer... Here is a screenshot of my designer: And here is how it looks in the WYSIWYG on the phone: And this is what the actual app looks like: I believe I am using the anchors correctly so why are things so different?

klaus Expert Licensed User Longtime User May 3, 2021 #2 You are not using the anchors correctly. You should set: - the horizontal anchor of the + button to right. - the horizontal anchor of the four views in the middle to both. Upvote 0

hwatech Member Licensed User Longtime User May 3, 2021 #3 Thanks, that was my mistake, that adjusted the + button correctly. The middle views are set just as you say. Where did the 4 labels on the left go (they are anchored to the left) and where is the gradient background? LH Upvote 0

klaus Expert Licensed User Longtime User May 3, 2021 #4 Sorry, but I do not understand exactly your answer. The middle views are set just as you say. Click to expand... Not in your screenshot ! They are set there to LEFT and not BOTH. Where did the 4 labels on the left go (they are anchored to the left) and where is the gradient background? Click to expand... I do not know, without seeing what you have done and how, impossible to give a concrete answer. It would be much easier to see what happens if you posted a small project, as a zip file, showing the problem. Upvote 0

hwatech Member Licensed User Longtime User May 3, 2021 #5 Wrong screenshot, I was trying a number of things before I posted and I inadvertently posted the wrong screenshot, here is the correct one: I don't see how pointing out my mistake with such gusto helps me understand anything. Just trying to learn here... I'll figure it out... Upvote 0

hwatech Member Licensed User Longtime User May 3, 2021 #8 I deleted the 4 labels and re-added them, so those are back but not sure about the GradientDrawable, I'll just skip it for now, so problem solved. Upvote 0

klaus Expert Licensed User Longtime User May 3, 2021 #9 Why do you not post a project showing the problem ??? As I do not know what you have done and how, I cannot help you in a concrete way. Upvote 0

hwatech Member Licensed User Longtime User May 3, 2021 #10 Later, I have other projects to tend to right now, the gradient is hardly a show stopper Upvote 0
hwatech Member Licensed User Longtime User May 4, 2021 #11 This was a stupid mistake on my part. Klaus solved it for me. I had indeed set the gradient in the designer but I also forced the color in the B4XPage_Created sub after loading the layout. Upvote 0
