Cannot force max width height for app

Hi
No matter what I set in my app's xml file it will always resize to the device width/height.  At this stage we are only supporting iPhone 4 resolution (480x320), so if the app is installed on iPad it should be presented at 480x320 (we are landscape only).  I'm not how and where to set this?  The initial splash screen displays correctly but once the app has loaded it then reverts to fullscreen.  Setting fullscreen to false enables the info bar at the top but the app is still presented at the native iPad resolution.
Thanks for any input.
Ben

In the app descriptor you can set which devices are to be used. If you set it to know devices 1 and 2, then it will fill the screen on the iPad. If you only set it to know device 1, it will show as a little area in the middle of the iPad screen, with the 2X button for the user to use if they wish.
Look for this line:

  • IPhoto 4.0.3 ignores max width/height for export to web page

    I just exported a simple page of 6 photos (3 columns) with the default image Max width and height values of 640x480. It did not seem to pay attention to these numbers, because the images produced were 853x639. The thumbnails however were the correct size according to the thumbnail Max width and height values.
    Has anyone else experienced this and/or have a solution? Thanks!

    Run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions. If that doesn't help, try moving iPhoto to the desktop, duplicate it (Command-D), move the copy to the Applications folder and rename it to just "iPhoto". Now try it. Other than that you might have to reinstall iPhoto and re-update to 4.0.3.
    If you have to reinstall you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in your HD/Library/Receipts folder beforehand.

    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Native webcam capture width / height

    the native width and height capture always seems to be 128x128.  how can i change this?  it's taking a square crop from the camera and publishing that as the stream. 
    also, i don't quite understand what resolutionFactor is doing.  what are the three native width and height values?  does setting resolutionFactor=3 for a 128x128 capture translate to a 384x384 resolution?  no matter what i set resolutionFactor to, when i check the stream coming in the nativeWidth/nativeHeight is always 128x128.
    can you help me clarify this?
    Specifies the resolution factor of captured data; ResolutionFactor values range from 1 (lowest resolution) to 10 (highest resolution). Resolution factor gets multiplied by the native width and height of captured camera. We provide three native width and height values based on aspect ratios. That width and height when multiplied with this factor, gives the resolution.

    Hi Adam,
    If you look at the source code of StreamManager.as in the player 9 source we provide, we have three set of values for native width/height. I will copy them here
    @private
              public static const AR_PORTRAIT_W:Number = 144;
    @private
              public static const AR_PORTRAIT_H:Number = 112;
    @private
              public static const AR_STANDARD_W:Number = 128;
    @private
              public static const AR_STANDARD_H:Number = 128;
    @private
              public static const AR_LANDSCAPE_W:Number = 160;
    @private
              public static const AR_LANDSCAPE_H:Number = 96;     
    By default, we use the standard values for nativeWidth and nativeHeight i.e. 128 and 128. When you specify a reslotion factor, the native width and height doesn't change but the capture width and height is multiplied by the factor in
    camera.setMode(StreamManager.ARSTANDARD_WresolutionFactor, StreamManager.AR_STANDARD_H resolutionFactor, _fps);
    So, if you are setting resolution factor as 3 it will do for standard      
    _camera.setMode(1283, 1283, _fps); though the native width and height remains the same.
    If you want to change them, you need to override the createMyStream function in WebcamPublisher.as and change the nativeWidth and nativeHeight( the code is same for 9 and 10, so even If you are using player 10 swc, you can refer to 9 source of this function), but you don't need to do the native width and height, just changing the resolutionFactor should change the capture width/height for you.
    Please refer to updateSettings and createMyStream functions in the source code of WebcamPublisher.as for further clarity.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks

  • APIs for Adobe Reader to get the x, y co-ords,width,height of all elements (text/image) in a PDF doc

    Hi all,
    I have written a Acrobat plugin using  PDFEdit APIs to extract x, y co-ordinates, width and height of all  elements(objects) in a PDF document.
    Now, I wanted to make the same working on Adobe Reader.I have added the READER_PLUGIN macro enabled in Project settings.
    When I re-compiled the code, I got a bunch of errors saying all PDFEdit APIs are not available under Adobe Reader.
    My  objective is to parse through the entire PDF document and get x, y  co-ordinates, width, height of all PDF objects (especially Image and  Text objects).
    Can anybody help me how to achieve this ?
    Thanks
    Prasanth

    I know that we cannot obtain the PDEContent of a PDF page from Adobe Reader, as PDEContent is modifiable content and as such it cannot be accessible from Adobe Reader.
    Also, as PDFEdit API's does not work for Adobe Reader, we are trying to figure out a way to achieve this for Adobe reader.
    I am curious to know if the COS APIs can help us in this task.
    I tried to read the stream content using PDPageStmGetToken API. I get the data of this format:
    344.88 0 0 91.44 71.882 41.92cm
    Here, as per PDF reference, I am getting only distance from X Axis and distance from Y Axis. But not width and height.
    Can you knidly let us how to get the image attributes (primarly read only attributes like x and y co-ordinates, width and heoght) with Cos APIs.
    Thanks

  • How to set width/height of iPad app in ipa file

  • Implementation of gtk3's Height-for-width Geometry Management method

    I've developed a gtk2 app (Conky Companion) in C to help users of my conky scripts
    Click.
    create their own conkyrcs with relative ease. A screenshot of the main screen is the following:
    http://i.imgur.com/jWl88.jpg
    The user can drag and drop icons or labels from the right side to the left, move them, resize them, change their size or colour, etc. When happy, he can press the generate button and generate a conkyrc file.
    The screen is a top,non resizable window with a table. The 2 sides of the table are frames in which fixed containers have been put.
    Whenever someones tries to place an icon or a label at the right or bottom border of the left frame/fixed container, the widget goes off bounds, as you can see from the screen shot above.
    I'm now trying to port the app to Gtk3 and I'm facing a bizarre problem.
    Whenever a user tries to place or move an object to the right or bottom border of the left frame/fixed container, it resizes itself to accommodate the newly placed widget.
    http://i.imgur.com/d1lc4.jpg
    If I move the object to the left (or up), the frame goes back to its size defined by gtk_widget_set_size_request.
    Is there a way to make a fixed container... fixed? I don't want it to resize.
    The code that places the frame and the fixed container in the window is this:
    /* LEFT FRAME */
    frame1= gtk_frame_new(NULL);
    gtk_table_attach(GTK_TABLE(table), frame1, 0,14,0,49,GTK_SHRINK,GTK_SHRINK,0,0);
    gtk_widget_set_size_request(frame1, 360,570);
    gtk_widget_show(frame1);
    /* LEFT FRAME - FIXED CONTAINER */
    fixed1 = gtk_fixed_new();
    gtk_widget_set_has_window(fixed1,TRUE);
    gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(frame1),fixed1);
    gtk_widget_modify_bg (fixed1, GTK_STATE_NORMAL, &color);
    gtk_drag_dest_set (
    fixed1, GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_ALL,
    target_list, 1, GDK_ACTION_COPY|GDK_ACTION_MOVE);
    g_signal_connect (fixed1, "drag-drop",G_CALLBACK (dr_data_rec_1d1), (gpointer)fixed1);
    gtk_widget_show(fixed1);
    I've tried the following things:
    1)Fiddling with GTK_EXPAND and GTK_FILL for the placement of the frame. No change.
    2)gtk_window_set_geometry_hints for the window, table, frame and fixed container. No change.
    3)Replacing gtk_table with gtk_grid. No change.
    After posting on StackOverflow, I was advised to consult the following page
    http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/3.2/ch2 … #id1482126
    which I did. If I understood correctly, the new way of declaring
    /* LEFT FRAME */
    frame1= gtk_frame_new(NULL);
    gtk_table_attach(GTK_TABLE(table), frame1, 0,14,0,49,GTK_SHRINK,GTK_SHRINK,0,0);
    gtk_widget_set_size_request(frame1, 360,570);
    is (ignore the height for the time being)
    static void
    my_widget_get_preferred_width (GtkWidget *widget,
    gint *minimal_width,
    gint *natural_width)
    GtkRequisition requisition;
    gtk_widget_get_requisition (widget, &requisition);
    *minimal_width = *natural_width = requisition.width;
    /* LEFT FRAME */
    frame1= gtk_frame_new(NULL);
    gtk_table_attach(GTK_TABLE(table), frame1, 0,14,0,49,GTK_SHRINK,GTK_SHRINK,0,0);
    gint min_width=360;
    gint nat_width=360;
    GTK_WIDGET_GET_CLASS(frame1)->get_preferred_width=my_widget_get_preferred_width;
    my_widget_get_preferred_width(frame1,&min_width,&nat_width);
    It compiles OK, but, when run, it gives me this error:
    (conky_companion:19700): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkFrame 0xa00e660: widget tried to gtk_widget_get_width inside GtkWidget ::get_width implementation.
    without ever drawing the window and it segfaults after a while.
    What am I missing here?
    Or, TL;DR, what is the equivalent of
    gtk_widget_set_size_request(frame1, 360,570);
    in gtk3? (StackOverflow gave up, you're my last hope)

    Solved (?).

  • Width*height vals changing in save for web ??

    Hi all
    I've opened an EPS file in illustrator cs4. And its width & height values are differing with width & height values in "save for web" option.
    For example, normally in width & height boxes shows as
    width : 247.499 pt
    height : 116.524 pt
    but in save for web
    width : 249
    height : 117
    I've checked with various figures too.

    Script lan : javascript
    thanks for ur help!
    Actually I've to resize the figure for the width 175, 525, 1400 and the height should change proportionally. So I tried, but I couldn't resize the figures using save for web. Becoz its horizontalScale & verticalScale treats values as percentage. eg. 175 treats as 175%. Then I grouped all items and changed its "width" and foud out the values' corresponding "height" values. But the problem is, exported file's values are changing nearly 3pts.
    could u help on this?

    Hi all,
    Just as it says above, I cannot do any file transfers in iTunes for apps as the apps simply don't appear and are unsearchable. I am using an iPad 4 and the most recent iTunes, how can I resolve this?
    I've ticked the Apps box in the general settings.
    Thank you!

    If you want to do file tranfers, you want to use File Sharing in iTunes is that correct? If that is correct, you have to have apps that support file sharing or they will not appear in the file sharing window.
    You have to scroll down a bit in order to see the file sharing window in iTunes.
    However, your post is a little bit confusing. I'm assuming that you are talking about iTunes. Some detailed information would certainly help.

  • How to set a minimum width and height for a stage or scene?

    Hello,
    Does anyone how to set a minimum width and height for a stage or scene?
    I tried listening for width/height property value changes and then adjust the width/height if necessary, but that causes unpleasant flickering of the window.
    In JavaFX 2.1 beta SDK for Mac OS, the Stage class has setMinWidth() and setMinHeight() functions which work very well.
    I'm wondering what's the equivalent way to do that when using the FX SDK for Windows.
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks.

    I was wondering how to enforce a minimum stage size with JavaFX 2.0.3.The same flickering way you are currently doing it. See: http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-15200 "Need a way to set the minimum size of a window"

  • SSRS Sharepoint Integrated Mode logs - Cannot find site lookup info for request Uri AND [Forced due to logging gap]

    Hi,
    Our reports run very slow in SharePoint Integrated mode. I look at the logs and I see that for one report request there are bunch of "Forced due to logging gap" rows. Is it some kind of a configuration issue or is it working as it should. Below
    is the full log for one report request. I have no admin experience at all and I am confused what each one in the logs mean. I have made some of them in bold font as I suspect it is some kind of configuration issue there. Could you please help understanding

    Thank you.

    That is likely the case as native mode is quicker than SharePoint-integrated.
    A couple of things to check, and perhaps change if you can:
    1) Make sure the latest SSRS ReportViewer is deployed to the SharePoint WFEs. This does not have to match your SSRS deployment version. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg492257.aspx
    for the compatibility table.
    2) If possible, move SSRS to the same SharePoint servers that end users interact with (e.g. the "WFEs").
    3) Make sure the underlying server hosting SharePoint has C-States disabled (these are Intel C-States, e.g. C1, C2, C3... aka processor sleep states). If the server has any sort of power regulation, make sure it is at maximum performance (rather than some
    form of power saving).
    4) Make sure the underlying Windows OS has it's Power Management set to Maximum, rather than any sort of power savings.
    You can review the execution logs in the Reporting Services database. Take a look at the ExecutionLog3 view. Compare the TimeProcessing (time it takes to process the report) and TimeRendering (time it takes for the processed report to render to the end user).

  • HT2404 When I try to download free updates for apps, I've suddenly started getting an error message saying: You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software." But I do own the apps. And I haven't changed my ID

    When I try to download free updates for apps, I've suddenly started getting an error message saying "You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software".
    But I HAVE owned the software, for ages. (And, in any case, the apps in question are all free.)
    And I don't have multiple Apple IDs.
    What can I do?
    Any advice much appreciated

    This can occur if you bought the machine used and iLife was reinstalled with another AppleID.
    This also can occur if the "free apps" you downloaded have paid upgraded versions and/or are now payware and you can't get updates.
    All software from MAS is copy protected, it might be free as in "no charge" but it's not free in the sense you can share it with others.
