Post by danwood83 » Tue Jul 30, 2013 12:44 am

Im sorry if this issue has been covered before but i couldn't find one. When i test my android app on the virtual drive the size of text etc is fine but when i transfer it onto my phone the content on the app is really small, how do i fix this? im guessing its the setup of the virtual drive size or something, please can someone help me.

Hi,

You mean that the text font is small, not the app :-)

Make sure to use a font that is available on your Android device.

Kind regards,

Hi Runrev Community, I had a query, I am making GUI with respect to mobile screen resolution but after deploying onto device, Actual view of my app is about 1*2 inches, Can you suggest something for this?

Hi "Danish",

First of all, please don't hijack someone else's thread, unless you're sure that your question is relevant and helpful to OP. I would recommend asking you question again in a new thread.

With regard to your question, there is too little information. What is the size of your stack window, which device are you deploying to, which version of LiveCode are you using, which version of Android, what is the screen resolution of your Android device? You might want to post this info when you ask your question again.

Kind regards,

Mark
