App Size Issues

[Googie85]

Hello Guys,

I am writing an Android App that is 768X1024 pixels, the problem I am having is the size of the App in Livecode is larger than my laptop screen. My current workaround is connecting my laptop to my 50" television.

Is there a way that I can zoom out on the App so it fits the laptop screen?

Many Thanks,

Matt.

Hi Matt,

You should be able to set the scale factor of the stack to reduce its visual size but keep its actual dimension in tact

The following is taken from the release information regarding scale factor-

The new scaleFactor stack property allows you to set a custom scale factor for a stack. The scaleFactor property accepts a non-zero real number value which represents the scale multiplier. You can use this when developing stacks that are larger than the available screen space - for example developing a stack to be used on an iPad with a retina display. You can also preview the appearance of your stack on displays with differing display densities.

Scaling a stack to half size:

set the scaleFactor of stack "myLargeStack" to 0.5

Preview the stack appearance on a high-density display:

set the scaleFactor of stack "myApp" to 1.5

This value can also be set within the stacks property inspector.

Kind Regards,

Neil Roger
