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.
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
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.
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.
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.
