Android Question Adjust views to device screen resolution

vecino · Nov 25, 2021

Hi, every time I design a screen I run into the big problem that it fits well on some, looks small on others, doesn't fit on others, etc.
Users start calling complaining about the size, and you have to adjust everything to each device. It's a pain.
What method is best to adjust everything as automatically as possible?
Thank you.

In fact, anchors and scripts must be used.

There is this method:

I meant that you have to choose which layout to load based on the size of the display - not its resolution. Create a layout for smartphones and one for tablets. However, as far as the pixel density is concerned, for the same size of the displays, dip is used. As for the relationship between base and height, continuing to thank the producers ???, we have to make do, generally leaving at least a ten dip free on the edges.

Doh! (slaps forehead) ActivitySize. How do I keep missing these obvious tidbits? You know before I wrote the post I opened designer to make sure I was correct and still didn't find it, but I was looking for GetDeviceLayoutValues.ApproximateScreenSize. Thank you.

I opened designer, went to scripts, pressed CTRL+SPACEBAR. It does nothing on my Asus Win10 computer.

ActivitySize - I simply would not associate this with screen size in inches in my head. I have a special knack for not being able to find the commands I need.?

Nope. But I can just start typing to get the list, and then back space to nothing to get the whole list,. It DOES work in the IDE, just not the designer.

"It DOES work in the IDE, just not the designer. "

That animated gif, as you can see, is the Designer.
If it doesn't work for you, in a new project and placing the cursor on an empty line (designer-script) open a thread asking the question.

I too have a lot of trouble finding the right commands, both in the design and in the code, but I guess it's because I don't think in English.

Well, I don't think, neither in English nor in Italian ?

One of my favorite expressions, when someone says, "I was thinking..." my immediate response is "I thought I smelled smoke!"
