Android Question Form too large for device

[DPaul]

Hi,

After some years of silence, I downloaded the trial B4A again, intending to buy it and develop an App
for a samsung Galaxy 1280 x 752 pix. (so it says using the "getDeviceLayoutValues" )
Working my way through the user guides everything seems very clear, and things work as they should.

However 1 thing eludes me : in the abstract designer I chose the closest match to the samsung tablet being 1280 x800 (10") tablet. And I placed some views on the form, doing different things.

When compiling to the device via bridge, I see only part of my form on the tablet,
it looks as if the app is too large.
Views (eg. buttons) seem much larger than intended.
??
Does the user guide explain that somewhere ?

thanks
paul

You could also post a small project showing the problem and we'll have a look at it.
