Android screen size and IDE layout

Targets Android
1

Hi all,

I’m buidling out my first Android app and so far it’s pretty smooth sailing. I am having an issue with the IDE and laying out my UI thought. My device has a screen size of 970x925 that doesn’t match the supplied phone or tablet templates in the IDE and I can’t seem to find a way to adjust. I’m sure I can probably just create my own container and have it outside the ide ‘viewable’ size (not tested), but is this ability to change size something I’m missing? I see a couple of posts from a while ago asking similar with no response.

Are there many folk following this category?

What exactly are you looking for? It’s not clear for me when reading your post.

Thanks Martin

I have a device with a screen size of 970x925 but no way for the Xojo IDE UI to reflect that size for graphical layout.

Ie. In all other targets I can set the ‘window’ size to whatever size I want. This doesn’t seem possible with Android as the target.

Workaround:
Design your UI in container controls and just place the containers on a MobileScreen.

Yep. That’s what I’ve been working on so far;)
