Android :: Text Boxes / Labels Buttons Shrink In Size
Mar 2, 2010
I designed the user interface of my app on the emulator and then I installed it on the Nexus one. For some reason the text boxes, labels buttons etc. have shrink in size. It looks as if the view has been zoomed out on the phone. If I arrange it correctly on the phone the objects don't fit on the emulator. Has anyone faced this? Is there some setting to have consistency between the look of the emulator and Nexus One.

If there is a image on my phone that I want to send up to a server thats 1mb or higher I want to take that image and shrink it to a smaller size without messing with original image in anyway. I know how to get a from the phone and I also know how to send it up to a server, I just need to know how to make the image smaller because large files higher than 1mb are giving me issues.

Comparing a MapView as used in an app through Google Maps API against the Google Maps app, I found that the granularity of all elements, most visibly, street labels, in Google Maps is bigger than the street labels in MapView. This is on a Nexus One, presumably other devices show a similar behavior. I did not find any hint in the documentation how to dial this for a MapView.

for some reason, handcent, chomp and sense all have the gray text boxes and bar at the top. no matter what 'skin' or 'theme', the apps just don't have black. that's all i want. they're all fast enough and cool enough but none of them are all black. if anyone knows a setting i'm missing, please tell me. everything else on my evo is black.

When im creating the graphical user interface and apply padding (10dp) to the left and right sides of the email text box the padding dosent actually apply. Here are the current settings.
Code:
<EditText
android:id="@+id/editText1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
android:paddingLeft="10dp" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
Basically i was the text box to fill the screen (width wise not the height) but have a 10dp gap on the left and right hand sides to make it look cleaner.

it sounds like most of my concerns have been covered. able to download Google Navigation, add Google Voice Search button to home screen, trash Bing widget. But my questions are in regards to the text entry boxes and the browser. In the browser where you go to type the URL, there is a MIC button, right? If I press that, what voice search does it use? Does the stock browser use Bing Voice Search? Would I need a different browser to be able to utilize Google Voice Search within my browser? Same with sending text messages, emails... anywhere there is a text entry box. Do these boxes that pop up the keyboard and present you with a MIC button use Bing Voice or Google Voice to enter the text?

I don't want to see the text labels, but I want everything else to stay the same. I don't want to use Home++ or anything else that fundamentally changes the Android experience. Could an app be made to do this?

I don't know if this is possible on the X, but how do I calibrate the touch screen? I've noticed two things that are beginning to drive me crazy. The first is that it is so sensitive at times, if I pass my finger over a button without actually touching the screen, it thinks I pressed it and executes the function. Second, I noticed that the spot I touch actually is off a bit so when I try to hit a link from a list (such as a thread here) it will pick the one above it.

I have a full screen dialog that has a relative layout that contains a TableLayout. Whenever the soft keyboard is displayed on the screen, it shrinks these buttons. Instead of filling the bottom of the screen, they only fill a third of it. How can I keep the size of the buttons the same similar to the Contact app?

I am using three buttons along with the list view.These three buttons are added to the layout using the TableLayout and TableRow.The first button takes more space on content, so the other two becomes smaller in size than first one. When the application runs, it doesn't even show the two other buttons.How can I make the size of three buttons equal and display all of them when application runs?Give me some example please.

I would like to know the way to make a user interface for Android for people that have low vision. The idea is to make a UI with the following features: 1- Uses very very big buttons. 2 -Uses very big font size. 3- Te colors to use are basically black and white (for more contrast). 4- The icons in this UI are not relevant. 5- We must sacrifice the number of chars that we can show in the screen to get bigger labels and buttons. 6- A simple zoom system for the images should be a great idea. 7- We can use the camera of the phone to get a magnifying glass. I'm member of a blind people association in Spain and we think that this should be a great idea for begining a new low-vision-user- interface that is not aviable in the market for the new mobile phones. This will help many people that uses movile phones but have many difficulties to work with them.

IŽm working on the UI of my first app and IŽd like it to work on as many different devices as possible. IŽve read on the net about AndroidŽs rule not to resize bitmaps on views (background, buttons, etc), is it true? Does android rescale skinned views sizes the same way it resizes the default ones? Also, if not, how can I handle the more than 5 display sizes using a background image and skinned buttons and scrollers (horizontal bar)?

I'm trying to develop a very specific app for my Dell Streak. I want the entire app to run landscape. The Streak has a tilt function that switches the whole OS to a landscape 800x480.
So I want to make an ADT to test in that uses an 800x480 display, but whenever I set the size I get no buttons. The Streak has a Home, Menu and Back button aswell as volume/mute and power, and I need to use some of them for my application.
I'm not worried about the tilting messing up my application. Not yet, anyway. Just need the test environment the right size and with buttons.

This is my first post. I've had a Moto Droid since day one, and I just love it. It is without a doubt better than any phone that I've had over the years, and that includes the iPhone, BB, etc.
However, there are 2 things that I don't understand - Font size and a spell checker. It is imposiible to read the small font size in emails or text messages.
1. Why has there not been an app to either change the font size or be able to zoom in? Picasy has incorporated multi-touch for zooming, so I've to assume that its doable! Why not have the same in an email client.
2. Why is there not an email client out there that allows for spell checking? There are many such apps for the BB! I am a terrible speller.
I am not complaining, I just want to understand the limitations from a developers prospective, as I am sure these isuues will eventually be addressed.

I did attempt to use the search feature here but didnt come up with the results I was looking for (or maybe I used it wrong?) I ask the following questions because unfortunately, I dont have good eyesight.
1. Regarding font size. I realize there is no current setting for font size on this phone (that I know of) does anyone here know if the upcoming 2.1 update will include that?
2. I know there is a text size option for the browser. However, it doesent seem to work on most websites I go to (like CNN for example) I try setting it at different sizes and nada. So far my browsing experience hasent been that good because of this (having to constantly strain my eyes looking at website text) Any tips on why the text size option doesent seem to work?
3. is there anyway to increase the text size of emails and text messages?

I use a few small images on my app and I was wondering if (and how) I could ensure that the size of the image is relative to the size of the phone? Also, is there a way to shrink my layout on smaller phones so each layout fits within the screen - like if a random string (longer than others) would downsize in font so the whole layout was ensured to fit on the screen?

I need to create fixed size sqare buttons with relatively large characters on them for a calculator app.
When I increase text size, the character is no more displayed in the center of the button and the button's position gets shifted some pixels to the top (very strange).

If it's possible I don't want to use images for the buttons.code...
how do I get all buttons equallly arranged with centered text?
