Android Question Compiled screen doesn't look like WYSIWYG screen

[jeffnooch]

Any thoughts why when i look at the display via wysiwyg designer i see the numbers on the buttons but when i compile and run the app they don't show on my phone?

i do have a variant for the phone size that make some changes.
i tried adjusting horizonal and vertical alignments...adjusted the font sizes....but can't get the numbers to show...

any thoughts?
thanks

Difficult to say without looking at either your code or the designer script code, one thing you can try is changing the textcolor property to a darker color.

The textcolor property is set to black already (#000000)

Can you upload a sample project so we can take a look?

Walter...thanks for your responses...i just increased the button sizes a little and moved them around and the text showed on the larger buttons...just not sure why couldn't see the text when the buttons were smaller...i have a label with similar text that shows no problem and the label box is way smaller than the button...thanks again

That means your Font size is bigger than the Button's size.

are the yellow box and the text 2 different labels or just one?

It can be related to AutoScaleAll. Remove it from the designer script.

Sorex....it is a yellow button with black text

Erel...i double checked and AutoScaleAll was already commented out of the designer script

The less variants you use the better.

Can you upload a small project with the layout?
