Hi I have been working on my first app in Android and have study various beginners books on the subject. At the moment the first app is purely for my use to make sure that I understand the language before I step into the realms of uploading to the market.
My current issue that I have is that my landscape main.xml behaves differently when run through the emulator to when I run it on my phone (samsung Galaxy S2). Now I know that the screen on my phone is larger that the emulator but I would have thought that the settings in my main.xml would stop the edittext from stretching too much. Here is my main.xml from my layout-land folder and it is my Player2_name edit text object that stretches : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:background="#006400" > <EditText android:id="@+id/Player1_name" android:layout_width="150dp" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:text="Player 1" /> <EditText android:id="@+id/Player2_name" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="200dp" android:text="Player 2" /> <RadioButton android:id="@+id/Players1_turn" android:layout_below="@+id/Player1_name" android:layout_width="150dp" android:layout_height="35dp" android:text="turn?" android:textSize="15px" /> <RadioButton android:id="@+id/Players2_turn" android:layout_below="@+id/Player2_name" android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/Players1_turn" android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/Player2_name" android:layout_alignTop="@+id/Players1_turn" android:layout_width="150dp" android:layout_height="35dp" android:text="turn?" android:textSize="15px" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/Player1_score" android:layout_below="@+id/Players1_turn" android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/Player1_score" android:text="Score :" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/Player2_score" android:layout_below="@+id/Players2_turn" android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/Players2_turn" android:layout_alignTop="@+id/Player1_score" android:text="Score :" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> <ImageButton android:background="@drawable/red_ball" android:id="@+id/redball" android:layout_width="65dp" android:layout_height="65dp" android:layout_below="@+id/Player1_score" /> <ImageButton android:background="@drawable/black_ball" android:id="@+id/blackball" android:layout_width="65dp" android:layout_height="65dp" android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/redball" android:layout_alignTop="@+id/redball" /> <ImageButton android:background="@drawable/green_ball" android:id="@+id/greenball" android:layout_width="65dp" android:layout_height="65dp" android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/blackball" android:layout_alignTop="@+id/blackball" /> <ImageButton android:background="@drawable/cue_ball" android:id="@+id/cueball" android:layout_width="65dp" android:layout_height="65dp" android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/greenball" android:layout_alignTop="@+id/greenball" /> <ImageButton android:background="@drawable/blue_ball" android:id="@+id/blueball" android:layout_width="65dp" android:layout_height="65dp" android:layout_below="@+id/redball" android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/redball" /> <ImageButton android:background="@drawable/pink_ball" android:id="@+id/pinkball" android:layout_width="65dp" android:layout_height="65dp" android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/blueball" android:layout_alignTop="@+id/blueball" /> <ImageButton android:background="@drawable/yellow_ball" android:id="@+id/yellowball" android:layout_width="65dp" android:layout_height="65dp" android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/pinkball" android:layout_alignTop="@+id/pinkball" /> <ImageButton android:background="@drawable/brown_ball" android:id="@+id/brownball" android:layout_width="65dp" android:layout_height="65dp" android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/yellowball" android:layout_alignTop="@+id/yellowball" /> <CheckBox android:id="@+id/Foul" android:layout_below="@+id/blueball" android:layout_width="100dp" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Foul" /> <CheckBox android:id="@+id/Sound_on_off" android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/Foul" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_alignTop="@+id/Foul" android:layout_height="50dp" android:text="Sound Effect" /> </RelativeLayout> Any ideas?
