Support multiple screen sizes and DPI values in a mobile application

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/mobileapps/WS19f279b149e7481c682e5a9412cf5976c17-8000.htm l

This is wrong statement:
"DPI is the number of dots per square inch: that is, the density of pixels on a device’s screen". DPI is not per SQUARE inch.

Air 15 known issues - wrong screen size and dpi

Will the next update of Air 15 solve the issues below..
the dpi problem with iPhone 6 plus is a show stopper, i cant get away with delivering a reduced dpi
... under pressure to update 20+ applications ...
Known Issues AIR 15.0.0.183
[ iPhone 6 Plus] [Launch image] A blank screen observed in apps when Default-568h@2x is packaged.
[ iPhone 6 Plus] Wrong screen size and dpi is returned through the runtime APIs .
[ iPad 3 and later] iPhone Launch image(Default@2x. png ) appears on iPad if iPhone launch images are packaged along with iPad launch images
Well done to the Air team for the good work done so far, not easy keeping up with Apple on IOS8 at the moment...

I am having simliar issue where I can get the iphone 6 launch image to work but not the iphone 6+ when using [email protected], 2208x1242. Also the stage.fullScreenWidth/Height give 1472x828, which is 2/3 the expected dimensions or 736x414 at scale factor 2, not 3. I hope adobe fixes this soon or we won't be able to launch new games with Apple as it is a requirement to have your apps Iphone 6/6+ optimized. If this isn't fixed soon were pretty much forced to abandon adobe and move onto another software solution that will allow us to build for Apple.

Image size and dpi for iDVD menu custom background?

I created a custom background for my iDVD menu. When showing
on my TV, part of the words and image is cut off on each side, even after adjusting my tv picture between wide screen and standard screen.
What is the correct size and dpi to make a photograph to use as a background
image in the menus? This may have been answered before, so I apologize for posting the same question, if so.

iDVD will try to downsize the image to work, but your TV often will overscan with the result being edges clipped off. The amount of clipping can vary, so the "TV Safe" settings will typically be the center 80-90% of the image. So, if you add a border that makes the image 10-15% larger, that should display the whole image. For example, if you had a 150 dpi image that was 640x480, you could put a 10% border on it so the final image was 704x528.

Screen Size and Resolution on Remote Access Mavericks

Hi Forum,
Accessing my Mac Mini remotely and it has a new install of Mavericks. The Screen size and shape and resolution isn't right, but Screen options in System doesn't give me any options. Is this because, physically, no screen is attached? Do only screen sizes and options come up when a screen is attached?
it currently shows 1280x960 [i think - just turned off the mac to get back to work] or 'scaled to fit'. Neither is right for the MBP remote access,. It was fine before i upgraded.
any ideas?

Hi xerhino, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Good work on your part!
Hope your doing OK with the Snow, Ice, and Winds!

Adjust front panel to screen size and re-position objects on different systems automatically

Hello, i have designed a vi that contains 5 led's placed at the 4 corners and center of the front panel which occupies the entire screen. However, this vi is to be used on different systems having different screen sizes. But on every screen, i'll need the front panel size = screen size and the led's to be placed to the centers and corner of this new screen size automatically without any manual operations and positioning bieng done every time. Will the resize option perform this task completely or do i have to go for some other techniques?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As far as I know, what you want is not easy to do but it is doable but you have to programmatically do it (no Labview setting). Here is an example for only 2 LEDs but I suppose that you will be able to make it work for your other LEDs.
This VI maximizes the front panel and then positions the 2 LEDs in the center and top right corner upon running. The LEDs are positioned according to their own top left corners, not according to their centers.

Adjust the screen display dynamically for a given screen size and resolutio

Hi All,
Is there a posibility to change the size of a table control dynamically to maximize the screen utilization keeping in mind , the different screen size and resolution. This is to increase the breadth of the table control that there is maximum utilization of screen and which would not produce any horizontal scroll bar in case of small size monitors.Kindly advice.
Best Regards,
Ashwini

There is no such control that you can put into the programming logic to enhance the visual appearance of the table controls or screens. This is taken care of by SAP GUI, which will adjust the display size of the table control according to the screen resolution.

Min Lot Size and Rounding value

Hello MM Gurus
need a small help!
I m a bit confused regarding the use of Min lot size and Rounding value in material master "MRP 1" view..
can some body teach me a detailed functionlity for both..
As both serve the purpose ..for e.g. my requirement is 7 and min lot is 10 system will create proc.proposal for 10
in similar way if i use rounding value as 10 , then als system will create proc.proposal for 10 only even if requirement is 7.
grateful if you could pl expain me the functionality of both...
another query..if I use Min lot size in material master will the same will serve the puspose of <b>min order qty ( maintained in PIRs)</b>
i'lll appriciate with good reward points...thanks in advnace
Br
Sumit

Helo Guys..
Thanks for valuable inputs..
i have assigned the appropriate rewards ..
pl clear my this doubt also
e.g. for a materials
Min Lot size - 40
Rounding value 25
requirement is for - 35
will it be 40 or 50 ..i understand 50..
j
ust anothe rquery..pl treat this separate issue..and separate rewards will be given
<b>can I use max stock level w/o use of lot size "HB"</b>
e.g. if my max stock level is 80
and min lot size is 30 and current stock is 60
what'll be my proc proposal created by MRP , i dont want system to cross 60 stck,,
Thanks in advance

Proper layout on multiple screen sizes

I have an app created at iPhone4 screen res (640x960)
Now I want it to scale properly on an android tablet (800x1200).
this looks good
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_BORDER;
But how to I query the size for my buttons?
I use the capabilities class to get the screen dpi and layout the button sizes based on pixels, works good
however StageScaleMode.NO_BORDER, it appears I am just scaling the whole swf, thus making my buttons too large.
thanks

here is the problem: there seems to be no way to read the new "real" size?
I can't use NO_SCALE... because i need it to scale up.
if i use StageScaleMode.NO_BORDER; the size of the main app looks good.
the problem is getting the real size to make the overlaying buttons
after setting scaleMode, it scales accordinly but if i trace
this.height or stage.height // original size
scaleX or stage.scaleX // 1
it returns as if nothing was scaled, so the REAL coordinate system is now unmeasureable.
when i size and place my buttons, they are of the stage coordinates which reads unscaled, when truly everything is scaled and there seems to be no way to mesure it.
I had read comments where you can take a retna display app, and alow it to scale down on the 3gs... same aspect ratio so it scales perfect.
But you must run into the same situation? You layout and size the buttons based on screen resolution, screen DPI, height/width
... but then its all irrelivent when the app scales down your buttons are 1/4th the size again?
On iOS theres only a few devices and you can get the exact one from capabilities class, so i assume its easier to work around. Not so on android.
Its almost like if you scale up a Sprite, within that sprites coordinate system, you would use localToGlobal or trace scaleX/scaleY .... but in this case, i cant find a global system higher than stage!?
The only work around i can think is predict how much it is going to scale based off stage.width and screen resolution.
set the scaleMode.
take that %Scale prediction and apply it to the button layout scale and positioning
Am I missing something obvious here?

Screen Size and Java?

Hi
I'm newbie in Java language.
I'm creating a game to run on every mobile fone that support Java, this game will have pictures (.png).
So my two questions are:
-When a launch my game i have to know if the mobile support Java?and if so is there any library or class or other way to know if that mobile support java?
-The screen size varies from mobile to mobile, through the method getHeight() and getWidth() i get the mobile resolution, when i create the pictures i have to create them to a standard size? is there any standard resolution to mobile fone?
Best regards

Object Size and Position values not being retained

Hi,
I'm trying to set the size and position of a picture object in a report. This logo, should appear on the top right corner of the report.
The margins of the report are Left - .79 in, Right - 0.79 in, Top - 0.79 in and Bottom - 0.39 in.
The size of the picture object should be 1.574 x 0.79 inches.
I have ensured that File -> Page Setup -> dimensions are in INCHES.
I right click the logo and select 'Size and Position'.
I set 'Y' (distance between top of object and top margin) = 0. This is to perfectly align the object with the top margin.
Now, i set the height of the object = 0.79 inches. Ok the dialog and close.
The strange thing happening is, when i re-open the size and position dialog, i see that the values i set are not being retained.
0.79 becomes 0.810
and
0 become -0.010.
What am i doing wrong here? How can i make sure the values i specify in the size and position dialog are retained.
Thanks.

Ensure File | Options | Layout tab has the following UNMARKED!!!!
Design View
Guidelines
Grid
Preview
Guidelines
Grid
Ensure that "Snap to Grid" is turned off.
Make your grid size larger (.5 inches for example)
What is occurring (I suspect) is that your objects are snapping to the grid - thus changing the position and possibly size due to the Snap to Grid being turned on.

Is there a way to make movies open with the same screen size and position?

Hello, I'm a new mac guy having just bought an i-mac a few months ago.
I have a bunch of saved movies that open in quick time. Each time I open a separate movie by double clicking the file, the window opens in the upper right hand corner in a fairly small window. I must then drag the window size and location to a much larger size. I do this every time.
I saw under quicktime, preferences, a section about preferences for full screen. This seems to work one time, for that movie, but all subsequent movies (even in full screen) or their same size.
Is there a way to make the window size and/or location permanent?
Thanks.

this would have seemed like an easy thing to do but i've had no luck; one more attempt at a solution?

How to change print size and DPI setting in Aperture

If I import a raw image from my camera (D2X) to Aperture and print the image at about 8"x10" through Aperture, it prints at about 300 DPI, if I change to size of the same image to 12"x18", in Aperture, it prints the image at about 166 DPI. I do not believe there is a way to change this in Aperture.
My question is, can I open the image at 8"x10" in PS, change the size and resolution to 12"x18" and 300 DPI then save it, open it again in Aperture and print it. If I do these things, will the image printed in Aperture still be 300 DPI and how can I check it to see if that is the case?
I have not been able to find the DPI setting anywhere in Aperture to confirm that it is what I want or need.

"You can make the pixels bigger by making the image larger but you can't add any more pixels without running some kind of interpolation filtration like GenuineFractals or a recomputation like bicubic."
Thank you for your explanation and that brings me exactly to the point of my question.
Can I interpolate my original NEF raw image after conversion by Aperture to a much larger image for print using something similar to what Photoshop does with it's bicubic smoother or as is done in genuine fractals or must I go out of Aperture and back if I want to print with Aperture. I am hoping you will tell me that Aperture is or will be capable of interpolating an image to a larger one with more than just the pixels supplied by the camera. I do not belive that these are not enough by themselves to print a quality image in a much larger size.
I may be wrong, but I believe that it is somewhat common practice to interpolate an image to get a greater resolution printed image at a size larger that what is possible with a resolution provided by the (D2x in my case) DSLR camera.
Or is this just a tempest in a teapot. In other words, will I be able to take the image out of the D2x (12.5 megapixels) and print a 13x 19" image with the same quality in Aperture (uninterpolated but enlarged) as an interpolated image in PS or Genuine Fractals and then in PS?
Thank you

Why Illustrator change entered size and position values?

Hy All!
Illustrator 5.5 always change my entered size or position values.
(For example: I type 10mm, hit enter, and 10 changed to 10,231mm.)
I checked again and again, but I have no any enabled snap function.
I have Illustrator CS6 too, what works fine (but much slower).
Checked all my setting about 5 times, still didn't find the solution...
Thank you for your tips!
(MBP 17", C2D 2,5GHz, 4Gb RAM, Mac OS X 10.6.8.)

The measurement you type in defines the frame of your shape. The new measurement you see includes the width of the stroke.
Under your Illustrator preferences, if you uncheck "use preview bounds", it will leave your measurements as you typed them, but it will not include the width of any stroke that is aligned to center or outside of your box.

Creating app for multiple screen sizes?

Hello. I've recently created an .apk file from Flash Professional using AS3 (probably obvious in this forum, but I wanted to be clear). I've been testing it on an ASUS Android tablet. However, I realized that even if I get the app to look fine on this tablet, there are other tablets out there with many different sizes that could have the app look weird.
I've been searching Google for tips on this, but a lot of it doesn't make sense. Is there a pretty easy way to get your app to 'read' the tablet's dimensions and scale itself to those dimensions? I know I could make a different file for each screen size, but wouldn't that require putting several different app files in the app store? That seems silly. Any tips?

first, you should check the scaleMode property of the stage which will allow you to specify how your stage is sized to fit the display.
then, you can use the stage's stageWidth and stageHeight properties to size and position your display elements, if that's needed (because with showall you probably won't need to do any sizing/positioning).
