Can anyone suggest a widget or something so that i can have a large clock on my home screen? I downloaded a digital widget but its not large enough. I want the time to be BIG on my home screen.

From Android widget screen guidelines,we know that, home screen has 4*4 cells, and in portrait orientation, each cell is 80 pixels wide by 100 pixels tall. I think these are for baseline HVGA screen. How about for large screens and hdpi screens, do they still have 4*4 cells for widget and each cell in portrait orientation is still 80 pixels * 100 pixels?

View 5 Replies View RelatedIt seems like everyone uses a home screen clock of some sorts, so I figured I was missing out. I tried a few, but can't get over how much screen real estate you lose! What's the point of losing 4 icons just to see the time, which is plainly displayed on the top of the screen already??? I have the stock Moto power bar up there, which is very helpful, but it takes up 4 spots too. Am I missing something, or do people just need to have the clock that big in their face all the time? BTW, I went from a Palm OS Tore to a Win Mo Treo (and i Pod touch) and then finally got the Droid back in January and I couldn't be happier!! Android is everything I thought it would be and then some.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am not sure, if this is the correct platform to talk about it, however I would like to know something about 'How Android supports the large screen display'. I mean here that suppose I want to port the Android SDK to a large portable device having a large display as compared to HTC G1 mobile screen, what all the OS modules (e.g surface manager, kernel: display driver etc) I need to look upon/modify.I guess what I am asking here is not a new subject as I can already see by below links that the Android OS is ported for large screen devices.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have layout issues in my application on Samsung Galaxy Tab. It has a 7" TFT display with 1024x600 resolution.
Galaxy Tab prefers images in "res/drawable-hdpi" to the ones in "res/ drawable". That is understandable. However resources in "res/layout" are used instead of the ones in "res/ layout-large". Does it have a logical explanation? Or what am I doing wrong?
What is a large screen for Android?

I am trying to get a slide down animation to work, and it seems to work except that it starts with a big black screen instead of the screen that was there. So I have layout1 and layout2. When I start the animation using ViewFlipper.showNext it puts a big black background over layout1 and then slides in layout2. If I use ViewFlipper.startFlipping() it slides in layout2 out as it is sliding in layout1 -- which is what I would expect.
My slide_down.xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<translate android:fromYDelta="0" android:toYDelta="100%"
android:duration="4000" android:detachWallpaper="true"/> </set>
My java code looks like this:
ViewFlipper vf = (ViewFlipper) findViewById(R.id.DropDownList);
vf.setAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.slide_down));
vf.showNext(); or vf.startFlipping();
I've tried Beautiful Widgets and Weather and Toggle Widgets, but both include weather. Here's my current home screen: I'd just like something without the weather below the digital clock since I have Weather Bug's forecast widget right there.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'd like to test an application on a variety of screen configurations so I know that it'll work (and the layouts will look right) on tablets and other oddly sized devices.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to detect if the screen size is normal, large or small. I am using
Configuration conf =view.getResources().getConfiguration();
(conf.screenLayout&Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_MASK) == Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_NORMAL
When testing with the emulator this works for screen sizes normal and small, but large (480x800 & 480x854) returns that it is normal...
I have found very little information on using the configuration to detect the group, has anyone got any experience with this?

CODE:................
This works ok as long as the wordDefinition text isn't very long. But, when I set the text to something very long, it pushes the back button off the bottom of the screen. Why? Isn't the ScrollView supposed to scroll the text in the child TextView?
I've tried playing with weights (e.g., giving the top text view a weight of .2, the scroll view a weight of .7 and the button a weight of .1, but to no avail.
I am designing a home screen widget. I ran this widget on a HTC Hero device, which has a screen of 320 pixels * 480 pixels with mdpi. It ran perfect on HTC Hero. The widget takes 3 cells * 2 cells space, i.e. 240 pixels * 200 pixels.Then I ran this widget on a Nexus One device, which has a screen of 480 pixels * 800 pixels, mdpi. Since Nexus One also is mdpi, so I though 240dip is equivalent to 240 pixels on Nexus One and 200dip is equivalent to 200 pixels on Nexus One, so the widget will not take 3 cells * 2 cells space on Nexus One device. To my surprise, when running on Nexus One device, the widget take exact 3 cells * 2 cells, about 360 pixels * 300 pixels, on Nexus One device.I am confused. The layout xml above specifies 240dip in width and 200dip in height for the widget, but why did it take 360 pixels * 300 pixels on Nexus One Device? What am I missing?
