Other B4A UI Cloud is now online - The easy way to test your layout!

[Erel]

Basic4android UI Cloud is a new service that will help you with testing your layouts on multiple devices.

Using the UI Cloud is very simple. From the designer you choose Tools - Send To UI Cloud (or press F6). The layout will be sent to a set of devices hosted by Anywhere Software. Once the process is complete, the browser will open with two screenshots taken from each device.

Pressing on any thumbnail image will show the full image.

The set of devices currently includes:
- Galaxy S4
- Samsung Galaxy I9000
- Nexus 7
- Nexus 5
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 2
- Kindle Fire
- HTC One S
- Samsung Galaxy Note
- Samsung Pocket

The variant used for each device (and orientation) is the same as the variant that will be chosen at runtime.

Strange results

This is not emulation. These are real devices. You can see their parameters by clicking on the image.

Hi Erel and hi all the friends of the forum.
It is the first time that i program an application for Android and thanks to B4A i completed quickly my program and i am working now to have it usable with multiple devices.
For this pourpose UI Cloud is an excellent instrument but i have a question.
I clicked on images to see the relative parameters of the devices but i got for the Kindle Fire the following result:
Portrait : 600 x 899
and at the same time and test
Landscape: 1024 x 475
Am i that missed something or this is quite impossible ?
If i was unable to find a possible previous reply i beg you pardon. :sign0013:
Thanks regards Franco efsoft

The resolution reported doesn't include the title bar and system bar. So the values are correct.

kindle resolution

The resolution reported doesn't include the title bar and system bar. So the values are correct.

Thanks for your kind and quick reply. As values are correct i have to adjust the graphic of my App to get a valid result. Regards

I try the Cloud mode, but i've got a TimeOut. Server down or it's my design ?

 

[Erel]

The server is online. Maybe there is a proxy or firewall interfering with the connection?

 

[Erel]

Please do not post duplicate messages. You also reported a bug about the UI cloud (several times) and never uploaded the problematic layout file.

 

[alhowiriny]

is this service still available?

is this service still available, online?
last week it worked perfectly, but this week it kept refusing to connect..
see the attachment for the error.

 

[Erel]

Sorry for the inconvenience. There is a server issue. Hopefully it will be resolved soon.

 

[Erel]

It is online again.

 

[Erel]

Nook HD was added to the cloud. The default style of this device is quite different than other devices.

 

[Erel]

Samsung Pocket was added. This device is smaller than most phone devices with a screen size of 2.8".
The device screen layout is 240x320, scale=0.75.

time-out

Hello Erel
I have disabled my firewall and I have no proxy, but I get a communication error:timeout
what can I do ?
thanks
Yves

 

[Erel]

Not sure. It seems to be working properly.

Hi Erel, for the first time I tried the cloud, I've noticed that images are all made with a black title bar zone on top, either if "Show Title" parameter is false in designer and in the module parameters.

What I'm missing?

 

[Erel]

Note that only the designer properties have any effect in this case.

There are two bars. The top one (with the battery) is hidden when you set full screen to True.

The battery icon (and the other icons) are not visible.

 

[SandroB4A]

Ok, I was confused because all the devices showed the problem but Galaxy Tab 2 (10" tablet).

Thanks again!

This is a very neat idea Erel.

Would it be at all possible to widen the range of devices, specifically to have one phone and one tablet per style? Ex, a Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 for stock phone/tablet, Galaxy SIII and Galaxy Tab for Touchwiz, One X for Sense, etc. Specifically, we're missing the Stock and Touchwiz phones.

I'm sure you could set up an emulator for the first one.

 

[Erel]

I'm sure you could set up an emulator for the first one.

Note that these are real devices, not emulators.

The current set of devices covers pretty good the screen sizes / resolutions available. For different styles there are: kindle fire, Nook, Nexus 7, HTC One and Galaxy Tab 2.

More devices will be added in the future.

I'm just looking for a recent Touchwiz phone, like a GSIII or something.

Erel,

I noticed you added Galaxy S4. Thanks.

..but I cannot see the Samsung Pocket any longer Will you be adding it again? It is very useful.
