Android Question Screen Resolution 720p 1080p 4k

[Yvon Steinthal]

Hi,

I have a mini android pc plugged in a TV that is set in kiosk mode.
I would like to change the possible resolution from the TV programmatically without having the user going to the settings of the key (obviously blocked by kiosk mode anyway)...

So far i've tried to see how to do with a shell command, but still unclear as to the exact command.
I tried to see if a library was available in B4A , none i could find.

I am trying to optimize the key so that the user can change resolution. Switching the key from a 720p TV to a 1080p TV, the key will not change resolution automatically and downscale to 720p...


Thank you for your help.

Y.

I don't think that there is an API in Android that allows changing the screen resolution. Have you seen any relevant Java code?

Sadly no java code, only shell commands...

I tried at least to fetch the possible resolutions on the device such as what the settings menu is doing like:

Should be simple to run these commands with Phone.Shell.

Phone.Shell("wm", Array As String ("size", "800x480", Null, Null))

I will try this later, maybe next week and i will update my findings on this issue... Thanks for your time
