Android/mobGUI/screen sizes

[rdmiller]

I'm stuck.

John Craig is apparently not responding to any messages, whether here, directly by email, by support ticket, or via the LC email list.

I've been trying to convert a LC ios app (which uses mobGUI) to Android. I was hoping I could just add one custom size of 480x800 to the two iphone/ipad sizes I had already built for. But after testing at Verizon on a few Android devices, I see this won't work. Plus, I asked potential customers to send me their phone details, and just looking at the first five, I found the following:

480x800
720x1280
800x1280
600x1024
540x960

What a mess.

So I see no way to use mobGUI for this. Looks like I have to rely on code to resize objects on the fly.

Still, I want to use mobGUI for scrollers and other objects, as this is already deeply embedded in my app. So how do I handle this? I have no idea how mobGUI will react to resizestack messages on every card, which attempt to resize and re-place objects on each card. Should I just build in that code after the mobGUI preopencard code does its thing? Seems if I do this during development, though, it will make a mess of the object rect values mobGUI is storing.

I'm lost on how to address this. Thanks for any suggestions.
