screen size to automatically resize ?

Post by d.m.holdawayGA2553 » Wed Aug 08, 2012 11:26 am

the app i have created looks cool on my iphone ( well when i say cool i mean all the buttons are in the right place not quite figured out how to not make it look early 90s.. but hey! it works.. )

for it to work on the 10000 different android type screens do i have to create 10000 different cards all different sizes and then setup detection if etc go card ?

any ideas are welcome to how i can do this.

i have tired a search but found nothing. i am toying with the idea of using a different sdk..

thanks

Darren

Check the dictionary to see if the screenRect function works on Android, if it does then you can get the dimensions of the screen and resize your interface accordingly..

ps.. the online dictionary really needs to be updated to show what works with mobile and what does not..
