background image of stack

[anil]

How to repeat background image for stack so that it will fit in any size of stack on different android devices?
Also changing the size of background image when stack is resized?

Hi anil,
I see two cases:
1.You can set the backgroundpattern of stack to the short id of an image and if the image is smaller than the rect of the stack LC fill the background with this image.
In this case you have to do nothing
2.You have an image like background that you can resize on resizestack.
Best regards

Can Anyone tell me which android version and device resolution i should target for now?

Both Android and iOS support multiple device sizes and resolutions, and both APIs offer features only available on newer devices. So unless your app requires a specific feature of later OS versions, targeting the oldest practical version will give you the largest audience.

With Android, targeting v2.2 gives you more than 98% of current devices in use:

Because both mobile platforms support multiple devices and resolutions, in most cases it's best to target all of them with UIs that scale and adapt for the device the app is currently being run on.

The mobilePixelDensity function can be used to determine the pixel density of the current device, and in conjunction with the mobileDeviceOrientation and screenRect functions can be used to write handlers which respond to the resizeStack message to make decisions about how your app adjusts its scale and/or layout for the current metrics.

For example, an app can benefit from offering different layouts for phones and tablets, and in some cases different layouts for horizontal and vertical orientation.

This can be a bit of work to do well, but taking the time to allow your app to adapt gracefully to make optimal use of available screen real estate will be appreciated by your users, and help your app stand out from the others that simply scale without taking full advantage of the device screen size.
