Adobe DPS Android - Folio Size Best Practice

Hey everyone,
we designed a magazine for iPad and now want to bring it over to Android. A little bit of research and it seems, that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7' is one of the most popular tablets. Second to that is the 10' Samsung Galaxy tab.
The problem I know have is, for which resolution I should re-do my magazine to work on most android devices.
I read about it (http://blogs.adobe.com/indesigndocs/2012/10/creating-dps-folios-for-android-devices.html), but still would be happy to hear from you guys regarding the following things:
Would it be wise do set a new folio size 1280x800 (to cover the 10')? I think it will be automatically scaled down to 7' on smaller tablets, right?
Or is it the better approach to work with an addiotional folio size 1024x600 to target the most popular tablet with 7'. As I recall correctly, the content will not be enlarged on larger tablets like 10', right?
What if I have a retina-Android-Device. Does the folio automatically scales up like on iPad?
Personally I would think that approach 1 is the one which makes most sense. content will be displayed fine on 10' and 7' with content slightly smaller on 7' (just like iPad retina and iPad mini).
What do you guys think?
Thanks a lot in advance!

We starting to test publish to Android. Our 1024x786 PDF iPad edition is showing OK on content viewer for android. There is black boarders, but with pich and zoom, it's perfectly viewable. HTLM and web content works fine. We simply don't have the time to recreate folios at various sizes. So our solution works for us.

  • Adobe DPS Android custom viewer using Angular

    Hi
    I have recently developed a custom viewer app for the ipad using the excellent articles and code examples that Derek Lu provided.
    This app used backbone as the MVP framework and communicated with Adobe DPS to retrieve folios and information using the provided API.
    I have now been tasked with developing a similar version for the Android device and have been able to get hold of example code for the Android device from.
    https://www.dpsapps.com/dpsapps/store_configurator/
    However this code uses Angular as the MVP framework instead of Backbone - whilst i appreciate there are going to be device specific differences between the IPad and Android which will impact on what can / cannot be done on Android, i wondered if there was any particular reason why the code example for the Android viewer uses Angular over Backbone?
    I was hoping to be able to leverage the Backbone code written for the IPad version  but when i try to put this on the Android device i seem to recall it either not allowing me (when using the webbuilder) or that nothing seemed to work / appear on the device, whilst the Angular version (freshly downloaded and unchanged - but configured to bring down my folios with the relevant guid) from the dps app store configuration link (provided above) does work.
    Additionally i seem to be unable to test the Android Angular version on my desktop in the same way i was the backbone version.
    Has anyone else encountered similar problems?
    Thanks
    Dave

    Having spent quite a bit of time scratching my head and googling i ended up finding the answer to this myself - so i thought i best post it to help others out.
    What i could not comprehend was why a functioning backbone example on the ipad could not be directly copied across to work on the android device - what transpired was that the backbone example was using an older version of the AdobeLibraryAPI  - taken from Derek Lu articles (from a few years ago) whilst the Angular version was using the most up to date version of the AdobeLibraryAPI. I found this mentioned and explained on another forum post:
    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1622729
    so i went to Adobe DPS - Library and Store SDK 2.32 : Class Index : JsDoc Reference and got the latest version of the API, swopped it out and hey presto the backbone version now works on the android.

  • ASM on SAN datafile size best practice for performance?

    Is their a 'Best Practice' for datafile size for performance?
    In our current production, we have 25GB datafiles for all of our tablespaces in ASM on 10GR1, but was wondering what the difference would be if I used say 50GB datafiles? Is 25GB a kind of mid point so the data can be striped across multiple datafiles for better performance?

    We will be using Redhat Linux AS 4 update u on 64-bit AMD Opterons. The complete database will be on ASM...not the binarys though. All of our datafiles we have currently in our production system are all 25GB files. We will be using RMAN-->Veritas Tape backup and RMAN-->disk backup. I just didn't know if anybody out there was using smallfile tablespaces using 50GB datafiles or not. I can see that one of our tablespaces will prob be close to 4TB.

  • Lun Size best practice for UC apps and VMWare?

    Hi,
    We have UCS manager v2.1 with FI 6248 direct FC attached to NetApp with plenty of storage.
    Per following doc, Lun size for UC apps should be 500GB - 1.5TB and 4 to 8 VMs per Lun.
    http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/UC_Virtualization_Storage_System_Design_Requirements#Best_Practices_for_Storage_Array_LUNs_for_Unified_Communications_Applications
    We have four B200M3 blades and 3 to 4 UC apps (CUCM, Unity, UCCX) will be hosted on each blade. May add more VM the blades in the future.
    I am thinking four 1 TB Luns and one for each blades. (actually 8 Luns in toal, 4 boot luns for ESXi and 4 for UC apps).
    What is the best practice (or common deployment) to create Lun size and design?
    Thanks,
    Harry

    UC apps need low IO，nothing special，Reference vmware LUN design is ok.

  • Disk Partition Sizes - Best Practices

    In the old days of SunOs 4.x we used to spend a lot of time figuring out disk slice sizes to make sure that we maximized the space on the old 200 meg disks.
    Then once we started using the 1 to 4 gig disk we used just make it one big slice and not worry about things filling up because when it was full, it was full.
    Now, we have these huge 32 gig to 100+ gig drives and things become tricky again. I was wondering how other large companies are slicing up their drives and what thie best practices are.
    The size I was interested in were for:
    8,18,36,72,146 G disk
    My thought is that the 8 gig is still small enough to do the complete disk, but the others may need some thought.
    If some people could let me know what they do for:
    /var
    /opt
    /usr
    I know that we should handle non DB machines different than DB machines so any advice on that would be great.
    Thanks in advance.

    well normally when I setup systems I don't like /usr or /var or anything so I lump everything into root "/", since you don't have any other filesystems your space dun get "locked" and wasted it also makes it easier to do manual backups like ufsdumps also.
    But if you do want to partition the exception would be /var and /opt as a lot of patches and software normally defaults to these 2 as the base installation directory but as I said normally I throw everything into "/".
    Then there's slice 2, 3, 4 and 7 which normally I don't install anything on them
    slice 2 is "backup" represents the entire disk, it can be used but normally nobody touches this. if you use it, I think there will be a problem if you wanna do things like 'dd'
    not sure now but In the old days when you used things like volume manager, vm will take slice 3 and 4 as a private/public region if you have data on it prior to encapsulation it will move the data to other slices for you, but if there are no free slices to move data to from slice 3 and 4 then vm install will fail or if you want to unencapsulate the rootdisk later on you will have a confusing problem as orignally your data from slice 3 and 4 was moved elsewhere during vm encapsulation.
    slice 7 by default with I first install os I will either leave it blank for future or allocate 10mb to it, this is in case I wanna mirror the disk using disksuite so I normally designate slice 7 of all the disks as my metadb, if you use up all the space and leave slice 7 blank you can still allocate space to it for metadb by allocating a few sectors to it from the "swap" area in cdrom single user mode.

  • Adobe DPS, Android and HTML

    I have been having problems with my multi-folio DPS app on a Galaxy Note 10" (GTn8010).
    It was built for ipad and works fine on ipads 2 & 3.
    On the Galaxy it is very laggy/clunky with loading wheels and all edge animations(.oam's) really struggle and some are cropped? I have to tap the screen to complete the animations in stages.
    Some animations are very simple and small, yet not working at all?
    Also my interactive html forms with dropdowns don't work. A simple html form with nothing fancy...
    I have a contact form in Muse too, which doesn't work? The keyboard pops up, but it hides the form and doesn't input text?
    Has anyone had simlar problems and is there a work around?
    I have tried 1024x768 with pillarboxing and folio renditions at 1280x752 and still not working?
    I hear there is an update on Jan 11th, but unsure if these issues are addressed?
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Nick.

  • JDialog size best practice

    I am looking for the best way of correctly sizing a JDialog. The problem I am running into is that I have an application that runs on both Windows XP and Windows 2000. Windows XP apparently has a taller title bar than Windows 2000, so the bottom portion of my dialogs are getting cut off on Windows XP because I have been specifying the based on my Windows 2000 machine. Additionally, users with large text enabled also see the problem despite the version of Windows. Am I missing an obvious solutions, or do I need to try to determine what version of Windows the user is on and whether or not they have large text enabled before setting the size of the dialog? Thanks for any assistance.
    Derek

    Hello Derek,
    do I need to try to determine ... whether or not they have large text enabled?I'm afraid yes. And this can be done from within Java only with JNI. The feature is probably seldomly used, but the titlebar of the Windows-windows is user definable. Right-click on the desktop, go to settings, then a tab called somewhat like "view" (Darstellung), open the Image element comboBox and click "title bar of an active window". There you can see that you may set the size from 18 up to 100 pixel.

  • WEBI Report Size Best Practices

    What are some standards (measured in time, records and db size) for the following for WEBI reports on BW Universes -
    1 - when run on demand
    2 - when scheduled to create an instance
    We are looking for some baselines.  For example: <5 mins for on demand and <15 mins for scheduled, etc

    Hi Subham,
    If you are looking for the size of the WID file, you can get this through the InfoObject.
    Please note that this WID file only changes if the WebI document was actually saved.
    Below is a sample code snippet that will retrieve the file size from an InfoObject:
    IInfoStore boInfoStore = (IInfoStore) boEnterpriseSession.getService("InfoStore");
    String query = "SELECT SI_FILES FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_INSTANCE='false' AND SI_NAME='" + webiDoc + "'";
    IInfoObjects boInfoObjects = boInfoStore.query(query);
    if (boInfoObjects.size() > 0) {
         IInfoObject boInfoObject = (IInfoObject) boInfoObjects.get(0);
         IFiles boFiles = boInfoObject.getFiles();
         IFile boFile = null;
         for (int i=0; i<boFiles.size(); i++) {
             boFile = (IFile) boFiles.get(i);
             out.print(boFile.getName() + ": " + boFile.getSize() + "<BR>");
    } else {
          out.print("No WebI document found!");
    Hope this helps.

  • Best practices for translating FrameMaker content?

    I'm interested in learning from Adobe or experienced users about best practices to follow (or references worth reading) about translating FrameMaker publications.

    Haven't done this for a while, but I believe the first recommendation used to be "work with a reputable translation agency who will accept, translate and return .mif files." fwiw, I still remember a run-in with one agency that claimed they did but didn't … they passed our .mif files on to translators who used Word =8-} The result in our case was that all the autonumbering in a long, complex regulatory document failed, because Word had slipped a fine-space character in before every colon in the French translation.
    A separate issue is whether it's worth moving to structured Frame, which is said to make translation management easier as your document evolves.
    There'll be lots of people who can give you more complete, more up-to-date answers, though.

  • Best practice for exporting a dps folio so a third party can work on it?

    Hi All,
    Keen for some thoughts on the best practice for exporting a dps folio, indd files, links and all, so a third party can carry on the work. Is their a better alternative to packaging each individual indd file and sharing the folio through adobe?
    I know there have been similar questions here in the past, but the last (that i've found) was updated mid 2011 and I was wondering if their have been any improvements to this seemingly backwards workflow since then.
    Thanks in advance!

    Nothing better than packaging them and using Dropbox to share. I caution you
    on one thing as far as packaging:

  • Best practice for setting or detecting screen size?

    Hi All,
    Trying to determine a best practice for setting or detecting the screen size. For playbook and iOS, I can set them. But for Android, the number of devices is too large so I'd rather detect. My first choice is to use the stage.stageHeight and stage.stageWidth. This works fine if I set my stage properties with standard meta data:
    [SWF(height="320", width="480", frameRate="64", backgroundColor="#010101")]
    However, if I use the application descriptor file to set the stage dimentions (as suggested by Christian Cantrell here http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/authoring_for_multiple_screen_sizes.html)
    <initialWindow>
    <aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
    <autoOrients>false</autoOrients>
    <width>320</width>
    <height>480</height>
    <fullScreen>true</fullScreen>
    </initialWindow>
    Then the stage.stageHeight and stage.stageWidth are not the correct numbers when my main class is added to the stage. Sometime after the main class is added to the stage, then those numbers are fine. Is there an event I can wait for to know that the stage.stageHeight and stage.stageWidth are correct?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Lee,
    Thanks for the quick response! However, for some reason the heightPercent & widthPercent metadata tags are not working as expected for me.
    I have a wrapper class that I target for compiling, WagErgApplePhone.as where I've got my metadata
    [SWF(heightPercent="100%", widthPercent="100%", frameRate="64", backgroundColor="#010101")]
    sets some stage properties
    stage.quality=StageQuality.LOW;
    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
    stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
    and instantiates my main class
    var main:Main = new Main();
    addChild(main);
    my main class constructor even waits for the stage
    public function Main(){
    if (stage) init();
    else addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
    in my init function, stage.stageHeight traces out as 375 (expecting 320).
    i have a function which is called via a button press event by the user, and stage.stageHeight traces out correctly (320) there. that's what makes me think that if i wait long enough, i can get the correct stageHeight before init/drawing. but i'm not sure what event to listen for, or if there's another trick.
    if i use Capabilities.screenResolutionX and Capabilities.screenResolutionY the correct values are provided for mobile, but these values are not useful for the desktop and web version of the app. if there's no other solution, i'll execute different code depending on platform.
    again, for reference, my app descriptor:
    <initialWindow>
    <aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
    <autoOrients>false</autoOrients>
    <width>320</width>
    <height>480</height>
    <content>bin-iOS/WagErgApplePhone.swf</content>
    <title>WAG ERG</title>
    <fullScreen>true</fullScreen>
    <renderMode>cpu</renderMode>
    </initialWindow>
    looking forward to any other ideas to try out & thanks so much for your thoughts! if you want to really dig in, this is an opensource project at code.google.com/p/wag-erg/

  • Best practices for image compression in dps

    Hi! I have been reading up on best practices for image compression in dps, and I have read that the source assets of panoramas, image sequences, pan and zoom images, and audio skins are not resampled on upload. So you therefore need to resize them and compress them before dropping them into your article, because dps doesn't do it for you. Okay can do!
    So then Im also reading that the source assets of slideshows, scrollable frames, and buttons ARE resampled as PNG images. Does this mean that DPS will compress them for you when you build the article? So does that mean I shouldn't bother going to the trouble of resizing these images at all? I can just pop in the 15mb 300dpi files used in the print magazine and dps will compress them upon building the article - and this will have no affect on file size?
    And this is also the case with static background images?
    Thanks for your help!

    All images are automatically resampled based on the size of the folio you make. You can drop in whatever resolution image you want, it doesn't matter.

  • Latest best practice for folio renditions

    Hi!
    I released my first folio last year (http://www.psaltiki.org/journal/) and added renditions.
    With the release of CS6 I can see in inDesign how there seem to be some special tools for preparing documents in multiple formats.
    My question is if there is some documentation out explaining the best practice for preparing and uploading redintions of a folio that I could review before beginning the layout of my second folio?
    Thanks!
