Android :: Biggest Practical Screen Size For Pocket Carrying

Jun 10, 2010

Bigger screens are generally better in terms of real estate and because fingers are about as accurate as sausages.

However, one question that you have to ask is, how big should a phone be before it becomes impractical to carry around in your pocket?

Maybe about 12 cm, or almost 5 inches?

Android :: Practical Limit To Size Of Large View?

Jan 27, 2009

Let's say I use a ScrollView to pan over a very large view. The large view draws itself dynamically in onDraw(). Is there a practical limit to the size of the view? That is, are view contents cached or buffer-backed and can I turn that off?

Motorola Droid X : Poll - Biggest Talking Point With Phone Seems To Be Size

Jun 16, 2010

The biggest talking point with this phone seems to be the size. Id be curious to see some numerical opinions! I myself have been waffling: at first I thought "Oh, way too big". Then this picture made me think its not the much larger than similar phones and I was getting it for sure! But this pic has me wondering. Looks pretty giant in her hand:

So: What do YOU think about the size? If you havent seen yet, engadget has a gallery of 50 some pictures.

Carrying Out Time Calculations?

Jan 12, 2013

I want to be able to let a button do some time calculations for me.

Basically I want the user to able to press the button and it will take the system time on their device and add numbers to it.

This is the code I have so far:

[HIGH]public void onClickHere (View v) {
Calendar time = Calendar.getInstance();
int hourofday = time.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
int minutes = time.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
time.add(hourofday, 6);
time.add(minutes, 14);
}[/HIGH]

The code above is just an example and it takes the system time and puts it in a TextView. It will also add 6 to the hours and 14 to the minutes. The problem is I get force close errors when the time is something like 1:50pm. You can't add 14minutes to 50minutes. Is there another direction I can take so that it adds up correctly and I can add any number of hours and minutes to any time?

HTC Droid Eris :: Screen Activation In Pocket

Nov 17, 2009

Love the Eris so far...minus 1 glitch which is hopefully user error. Has anyone else had a problem with it calling from your pocket? It has happened to me a few times the passed couple of days (just picked up the phone this weekend) where the screen is somehow activated in my pocket, possibly after a missed call or text, which results in "pocket dial". Is there an alternative method to "unlock" the screen so maybe it doesn't happen so easily? This is my first touch screen to maybe there is a trick I don't know about.

HTC EVO 4G :: Capacitive Touch Screen Is Working Through My Pocket

Jul 7, 2010

My EVO has been answering phone calls in my pocket. I've even "butt dialed" a couple of people when I forgot to turn of the screen before sticking it in the pocket.

If I forget to turn off the screen, that's my fault, but the screen turns itself on when the phone rings.

How the heck is a capacitive screen working through fabric, anyway?

Android :: Home Screen Widget Size In Normal Screen And Largest Screen

Mar 31, 2010

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?

HTC Desire :: Use Proximity Sensor To Disable Screen While In Pocket

Jun 8, 2010

I've experienced the problem that when the desire is in my pocket and I receive a notification, the screen gets accidentally unlocked and the phone starts doing things that I don't want it to do. I know I can add an unlock pattern so that it won't unlock as easily but this is at the expense of me having to enter it even in situations I would not have needed it. So I thought that maybe we could use the proximity sensor to tell the phone to never unlock the screen if an object is close to the phone. Quickly looking at the android docs, it seems that the support for this is in the SDK, but I was wondering if anyone had created an application that does this. If time permits, I might even have a look at doing it myself, but as I'm very new to Android development, it will take me quite a long time to get to a usable state, hence my question about an existing app that does this.

HTC Hero :: Can't 'switch Off' Screen And Put Phone In Pocket And Call While Walking

Oct 6, 2009

I've switched from the iPhone to the Hero a week ago. I really like the Hero, even though some functions are better on the iphone (like the musci player).
There is one Issue however, which is really bugging me with the HTC, which might make me switch back to the iPHone if I can't find a solution.

Problem:
When I call with my headset (Not the original ones, I don't have huge ear holes....) I can't "switch off" the screen and put the phone in my pocket and call while walking... This sucks, as I have to hold the phone in my hands, which kind of kills the idea of having a headset.

Android :: Home Screen Widget Size For Large Screen Or Hdpi?

Mar 30, 2010

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?

Android Screen Size

Jan 17, 2014

I got to know that the devices with screen resolution 1280x720 or 720x1280 are extra large screen devices.

But when I run my application on Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999 (resolution 720x1280) throught eclipse, the following code prints "Normal screen" i.e. it is a normal screen device but according to my knowledge it should print "Extra Large screen". If its a normal screen size device actually then why its picking the layout (XML) file from res/layout-xlarge-port folder instead of res/layout? Need to understand this screen size concept so that I can make my application for multiple screen sizes.

// get and check the screen size of the device
int screenSize = getResources().getConfiguration().screenLayout &
Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_MASK;
switch(screenSize) {
case Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_XLARGE:
Toast.makeText(this, "Extra Large screen",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
break;
[code]...

Android :: Multiple Screen Size

Nov 10, 2009

I have an app that I would like to keep 1.5 compatibility but support the additional display resolutions of more recent devices like the Droid. I've read the suggestions in the dev guide, specially the legacy applications section, since that's exactly what I want to do.I'm not running in compatbility mode, so anyDensity is set to true and all screen sizes are allowed in the manifest. I've recreated all my graphical elements so they don't get upscaled on a 480px-width screen (called "hires-bitmaps" in the following).If I put the hires-bitmaps into drawable-hdpi and leave the others in drawable, the emulator2.0 (WVGA854, density @ 240) displays them perfectly. On the other hand, the emulator1.5 (320x480, density @ 160) - and my HTC Hero - ALSO use the hires graphics in drawable-hdpi. That's a problem because the hires graphics scale slightly differently and I don't want the app to resize too much.As mentioned in the dev guide I can prevent this by adding the API version number to the resource folder. Not very convenient since I'd have to keep the hires bitmaps twice (drawable-hdpi-v4 and drawable-hdpi-v5), but I nevertheless tried it. Result: emulator2.0 uses low-res graphics from "drawable" (which is bad), emulator1.5 as well (which is good). And what's weird: emulator1.6 (WVGA854, density @ 240), uses hires-graphics. Now that seems odd.

Android :: Get The Screen Size In Inches

Aug 4, 2010

I am trying to determine the physical size of a screen in inches.

Normally, I could do something like this:

CODE:.............

Then use metrics.widthPixels and metrics.heightPixels. Now that I know the width and height in pixels, I should be able to calculate size in inches if I know the density. Easy enough, metrics.xdpi and metrics.ydpi.

Then screen dimension in inches should be:

CODE:.................

Seems simple enough except that it doesn't work.

On a Motorola Droid, the system reports back: xdpi and ydpi as 96 (which cannot be true).

And the screen resolution as: 480 x 854. Which results in a width of 5" x 8.9" -- which as I'm holding this in my hand right now, I must say - cannot be correct. how to accurately calculate this?
