Re: [android-developers] android milestone text size small

2010-01-27 Thread Matt Oakes
It might be something to do with the display density. Maybe you have defined the size of the text in px (absolute pixels) which on a device with a higher density makes the text smaller. You could try changing to a density independent unit to see if that helps. Matt On Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 11:02

Re: [android-developers] Browser Name?.

2010-01-25 Thread Matt Oakes
I don't think it has a name except for Browser. The engine it uses is WebKit, the same as the iPhone, Safari and Chrome. If you mean what does the browser report itself as you could look at the user agent string which it reports itself as: HTC-P4600/1.2 Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows
