Variant Specific Script not woking

[LisaM]

Hi
Just have a query I have created variant specific script for portrait and for landscape when the phone/emulator is connected to the designer it displays correctly for both portrait and landscape layouts but once I debug or release the application the landscape variant does not work when the phone/emulator is rotated the activity still uses the portrait specific script.

Here is the code from both orientations

'Variant specific script: 480x800,scale=1
Panel2.Width = 100%x
Panel2.Height = 100%y

btnWorkout.HorizontalCenter = 50%x
btnFitTest.HorizontalCenter = 50%x
btnProfile.HorizontalCenter = 50%x
btnCalendar.HorizontalCenter = 50%x
btnSettings.HorizontalCenter = 50%x
btnProfile.VerticalCenter = 70%y
btnFitTest.Bottom = btnProfile.Top
btnWorkout.Bottom = btnFitTest.Top
btnCalendar.Top = btnProfile.Bottom
btnSettings.top = btnCalendar.Bottom

ImageView1.HorizontalCenter = 50%x
ImageView1.Top = 10dip
Label2.HorizontalCenter = 50%x
Panel1.HorizontalCenter = 50%x
Panel1.VerticalCenter = 35%y
Label2.Bottom = 100%y - 2dip

ScrollTips.Width = 100%x
ScrollTips.Height = 100%y
ScrollTips.HorizontalCenter = 50%x
ScrollTips.VerticalCenter = 50%y
Label1.HorizontalCenter = 50%x
Label18.Bottom = 100%y - 5dip
btnhelp.Bottom = 100%y - 5dip

'Variant specific script: 800x480,scale=1
ImageView1.HorizontalCenter = 30%x
ImageView1.VerticalCenter = 25%y

btnWorkout.HorizontalCenter = 77%x
btnFitTest.HorizontalCenter = 77%x
btnProfile.HorizontalCenter = 77%x
btnProfile.VerticalCenter = 50%y
btnCalendar.HorizontalCenter = 77%x
btnSettings.HorizontalCenter = 77%x
btnFitTest.Bottom = btnProfile.Top
btnWorkout.Bottom = btnFitTest.Top
btnCalendar.Top = btnProfile.Bottom
btnSettings.Top = btnCalendar.Bottom

Label2.HorizontalCenter = 50%x
Label3.HorizontalCenter = Panel1.Width / 2
Label4.HorizontalCenter = Panel1.Width / 2
Label4.VerticalCenter = Panel1.Height / 2
Panel1.HorizontalCenter = 28%x
Panel1.VerticalCenter = 70%y

ScrollTips.Width = 100%x
ScrollTips.Height = 100%y
ScrollTips.HorizontalCenter = 50%x
ScrollTips.VerticalCenter = 50%y
Panel3.Width = 100%x
Panel3.Height = 100%y
Panel3.HorizontalCenter = 50%x
Panel3.VerticalCenter = 50%y

Label1.HorizontalCenter = 50%x
Label2.Bottom = 100%y - 5dip
Label18.Bottom = 100%y - 5dip
btnhelp.Bottom = 100%y - 5dip

I am using version 2.22
Do you think i should update to 2.3? I have put off doing so as i am close to finishing my app and 2.3 is in Beta and did not want to risk anything going wrong.

It should work with version 2.2.
Could you test the attached test program it works at least on an Emulator 480x800x160 with versio 2.2.

Best regards.

I tested it out I checked out the code in the designer script to see what was suppose to happen, unfortunately again the same problem exists in the designer the script works but when i debug the only script that works is the 480 x 800, scale=1(160dpi)

Thnx for test though

 

[LisaM]

Ok i got it working
I went back to the small 320 x 480, scale=1 (160dpi) and 480 x 320
and what do you know it works!! I dont know why i changed it the first place it was so long ago, anyway for some reason testing your test app sparked the thought so thank you very much for that!!

Could you post the layout file so I could have a look at it.

Best regards.

 

[LisaM]

Sure I'll load my main file I'm in the middle of adding a Tablet version layout aswell. I left the 480 x 800 variants in there so you can have a look at what i have done

I don't know what the problem was in your project.
On an Emulator 480x800x160 both layout variants are loaded correctly.

Best regards.

Hmm mystery i guess
Thnx for your time and effort, You did help me I'm back on track now and the layouts are working well. I can finally finish my project.

Thnx again!!
