Autoscaleall from tablet to phone

[Toley]

Sorry if it's already been answered but I can't find any thread explaining this. Autoscaleall seems very efficient when starting from a small layout to a larger. But I cannot make a big layout smaller (even with autoscalrate(0.1) or any other fractionnal number). It looks like the downratio is about 5 to 10%. How can I shrink more than 50%. Thank you.

AutoScale is designed to adapt view positions and sizes from the standard layout (320 x 480 scale = 1) to other screen sizes.
You cannot downscale nor upscale if the reference layaut is not the standard one.

Best regards.

What Klaus said is the way autoscale was designed but I had an app I created for my tablet that I wanted on my phone. I used autoscale with -1.9 and it worked perfect. It runs and looks great. The buttons are very small but it does work!!

Nice trick margret :sign0060: I did not think to try with negative numbers (since the documentation says from 0 to 1), but it seems to work fine. Thanks for the cool tip.

I agree that it does work but only for a specific screen size.
You will need one AutoScaleRate for each screen size.

Best regards.
