Android Question ACToolBarLight font size

[techgreyeye]

My app is using ACToolBarLight but I want the text to be bigger.

In this thread it says to use CSBuilder to create the string and set it's size, which I can do.

How do I scale the font size so it matches the designer scaling?

You can check the text size of one of the text fields (Label, EditText, Button, ...) and then set it accordingly. The difference should be small.

I tried that, but it doesn't change when I change the font size in android settings. All font size settings are returning the same size.

You were asking about the designer scaling in the first post.

Apologies. I'll rephrase.

How do I size the CSbuilder string so that it matches the size of a string set up in the designer?

Maybe something like:

Dim cs As CSBuilder
cs.Initialize.Size(label1.TextSize).Append("Example").PopAll

I have that in my code already, that's not my problem.

It's that the size returned from lmAudits.textsize stays the same no matter what the android text size is set to, even though the text size of the button created in the designer is scaled appropriately.

Dim cs As CSBuilder
cs.Initialize.Size(lmAudits.TextSize).Append(Starter.appName & " - Dashboard").PopAll
ACToolBarLight1.Title = cs
Msgbox("Text size is " & lmAudits.TextSize,"info")

In the designer, the font size is set to 20, the reported size is 15.623 whatever my system font size is set to in settings.

Don't use Msgbox. Use Log for debugging or MsgboxAsync.

Multiply the font size with Accessibility.GetUserFontScale (Accessibility library).

Thanks Erel, that's what I needed.
