What happened to dialog size?

The size of the Msgbox is determined by the text length. It seems that the complete text is visible so it is fine.

Can you change font size?

Not in the regular Msgbox. You can use a CustomDialog for that. Not that the font size is measured in physical units, which means that it should look at the same size on all devices.

Here is the same msgbox shown for the 10, 7 and 4 inch emulator screen sizes. It doesn't look like the screen resolution has a lot of affect on the readability although the 4" and 7" emulator sizes takes up more of the screen. I suspect it might be more readable on an actual device. It looks pretty good on my 7" tablet but I don't have a phone or a 10" tablet. I am considering using an edittext where I can control the font size rather than a msgbox for this particular message. I can then use the visibility property to turn it off.

Incidentally, I always use the default HVGA for all screen sizes. Is this adequate?

Thanks. Jim

See Designer - Basic4android Wiki

The images of the emulator are misleading as the emulator seems to be scaled down.
The characters physical size will be the same on all devices.
