"Best"way for geometry one stack cross plattform and devices

Post by harald.schlager » Thu Nov 03, 2011 9:05 am

hi !

I want to make a stake with a navbar on the top and on the bottom and a background with background behavior with several cards ...

it should be resizeable on desktop plattoforms and should also work on several iOS or android devices.

should I use the geometry manager on desktop and resize the controls manually on mobile or is there a "better"
solution.

thank you in advance,
Harald

I think you'll find this thread interesting. LiveCode 5.0 & Mobile Geometry

One of the things I learned in Summer Academy was that Geometry was not active on Mobile platforms. But this has been corrected in version 5.0. While I can't say I have tested this yet-- I do believe that Geometry will now work on all screen sizes on all platforms.

But it does not cover font sizing. For this, you'll need to loop through all your objects and change the font size via code, which shouldn't be too difficult. Though-- I haven't tried it yet either.

Harald-- if you could, post your results here.
No one has really confirmed this yet.
