I'm having a little trouble with auto-scale, I made an app to fit a Samsung s7, but when I tried it on a S8+ it tries to adjust but I still have a blank space at the bottom.
I tried different autoscale rates with no good results, I found something about anchoring, I think that's if i turn the phone sideways. I tried the "Scale.bas" but it gives an error, somthing about scrollview or something like that.

Could someone point me in the right direction? please.

Thank you for your help.

Which layout variant do you use? You should use the standard screen size 320 x 480 scale 1.

Concerning the Scale Module.
I suppose that you haven't seen this line:
The Scale module scales also ScrollView2D views, if you don't use such a view you must comment the corresponding lines or remove them.

I found something about anchoring,

The Scale Module was written before Anchors were introduced.
You might have a look at the B4X Visual Designer Booklet, which explains the anchors with code examples.

Can you post your project, or a small project with the layout files, as a zip file so I can have a look at it.

I'm using 320 x 480 scale 1 in layout variant and the scaleall in script - general.
I tried creating different variants with different width and height and scales, with no good results.

But let me do some research on those recomended links, I will report back.

Without seeing your layout(s) it's difficult to give any concrete advice.
There is no universal solution.
If you have a 5'' screen on one device and a 10'' screen on an other one, you need think of what you want to display on each screen at the same time.
Having a layout for a small screen and streching it up to a big screen will look awfully on the big screen.

I used "GetDeviceLayoutValues" to get device info, and got;
Width = 360
Height = 692
Scale = 3

So I think your right Klaus, It would stretch it vertically and wouldn't look right.

I guess I'm just going to try to ignore the bottom blank space.

Thank you for your help.
