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 have my layout (semi) done, and was wondering if I am doing it in the most efficient manner possible. The layout seems very nested, and I am getting warnings about nested weights but do not know how else to proceed.
I am including my layout file, as well as what I want it to look like, the play field is all that is left.
**Small note, is there a way to shrink the margin of a ImageButton? the large ugly grey lines around the players hand is kinda unsightly.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"[code].....
I have a basic linear layout, with image view that display photos, textviews that show text etc...and when I test my whole app on my android 2, there is never any part of the screen that doesn't show. But when I test it in the QVGA emulator, half the view is off the screen. Now, some of my text is defined to a certain size.
I never use px (only dip) in any of my xml. I use fill_parent, wrap_content where it is needed and never fix a height or length. Could it be with my text, I use say, textSize = 22dip? I couldn't find documentation on why that would not work in all sizes. Could it be that some apps need to be programmed to those screen sizes? Or am I missing something?
I have a newly rooted Casio G'zone Commando, build M100, running 2.3.3.I wanted to prevent the volume button from waking up the phone. (turning the screen on)
I did some research and found that the .kl or key layout files in /system/usr/keylayout control this behavior. As an experiment I focused on disabling the WAKE property on just the VOLUME_UP key in every file where it appeared in that directory. I removed the .BAK files, rebooted, but VOLUME_UP still wakes the phone.
Owners of other phones report successes changing all sorts of buttons this way. Is the Commando overriding this somewhere else?
I want my view to grow or shrink in one direction like curtains. What animation i can use for this? is this scalling or wht is it ?

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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I recently got a Droid X which I love, but I am having a really tough time emailing photos and videos. I'm looking for something that will automatically shrink photo's when I want to email them. The iPhone does this automatically. I am constantly sending pics of my kids to my parents but at 2.5 MB per pic it take WAY too long to send (if the email client even allows it). I am aware that I can resize each and every photo and THEN send them, but that seems very time consuming and unnecessary. Is there anything that will automatically shrink photo's when I attempt to email multiple pics?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create smaller tabs in android -- but I can't seem to get it to work because all that happens when I create a smaller tab is that it shows the bigger tab -- but without a drawable.
This is my layout code for tabs now -- but the height isn't wrapping for some reason -- it just goes to Android's usual layout height.
CODE:.........................
It would be great if someone could help me create something like the Facebook application -- I think that looks really clean and I would love to implement something like it:
I've added a RatingBar in a layout :
CODE:...........
But the default style for the rating bar is too large.
I've trie to change it by adding the android style : style="?android:attr/ratingBarStyleSmall"
But the result is too small and it's impossible to set a rate with this property.
I'm trying to copy a series of small bitmaps into a larger one, arranging them side by side without any gaps or overlap in their pixels. For example, if I have 3 square bitmaps, I'd like to copy them into one long and thin rectangle. I know how to do the opposite, namely creating a small bitmap out of a larger one, but not this way around. What's the right command? I want to do this to be able to reuse some code I wrote for handling animation with a single bitmap.)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an application built for 1.5 and I am adding higher resolution drawables to support hdpi devices in 1.6 and above.My original application icon is 48x48. I created a second launcher icon that is 72x72 and placed it in a res/drawable-hdpi/ directory.When I install the application on my Nexus One the icon looks good when I view it in the application menu.But when I place it on the desktop it appears small relative to other icons, my guess is I'm seeing the 48x48 version with no scaling.Do I need to do something differently either with my directory structure or my manifest file to get things to display correctly?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to show a large number of EditText controls on a screen, each of which will only allow entering 0-2 digits. The default EditText size is too wide for me to show enough EditText controls on a screen, but I have been unable to figure out how to make them narrower. I have tried the following attributes in XML: android:maxLength="2" android:layout_width="20dip" android:maxWidth="20px" android:ems="2" android:maxEms="2". So the question is: how can EditText be made smaller than default?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am creating a simple android app to view a comic book. The pages are large(0.5-1 mb each), high quality .png's and I am loading them into a webview to make use of the built in zoom controls. So far I only have 17 files and the APK size is already about 16 mb. I'm looking to add over 200 files in future updates. I can't really reduce the quality too much because there is small text that must be zoomed-in on to read. Any suggestions? A similar question was posted here: How to reduce App (.apk) Size, but I don't want to lose the quality of the images. I'm not sure if it's appropriate to link to here, but you can have a look at my app by searching for Tracer (by Detour Mobile) on the android market if it helps at all.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been playing around with the Vignette demo version for a couple of days and I'm having an issue that I hope is just related to this being the free version. I know that the free version of Vignette only saves pictures at the really small size. When I take a picture through the app and save a square version of it, it's saving at 540 by 540 pixels. When I open the app and import another picture I've taken with the phone and use exactly the same effects, I get a 275 by 275 pixel square. I'm thinking of buying the full version, will the pictures I import and process always turn out smaller than the ones I take with the camera?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have had several emails from people with HTC Tattoo devices who say they cannot find my app in the Market.
After reading this page (http://d.android.com/guide/practices/ screens_support.html) I believe I have to add the <supports-screens> tag to my manifest file. However, when I try to do this I am confronted with "Error no resource identifier found for attriute support-screens in package 'android'" messages. What does one have to do to update their manifest to tell the market an app supports all screen sizes?
Furthermore, if I need to change the android:minSdkVersion from "3" to something higher or add the android:targetSdkVersion tag, will this prevent people with older versions of Android from using my application?
I just got a HTC Hero (my 1st android device) and am trying to set everything up. I'm having a little trouble with the weather widget. It found my location just fine and is giving the weather correctly. The problem that I run into is when I am searching for other cities to add.
For example: I used to have an iphone and I would just type in the zip code or city, state. It would find any city or zipcode that I enter. With the hero it doesn't find anything except for major cities. Is there any way to get smaller cities to show up. I trying to get some city in Maryland and PA but it won't find anything and there are no big cities near it.
If you haven't noticed already Endadget has posted some new hands-on videos. One thing I noticed from the demos was the more reasonably sized directional arrows on the keyboard. May not be a huge deal to most, but it sure looks a whole lot better.
