Re: mobile - fullscreenmode "exactFit"

[Alan via use-livecode]

Hi Colin

Thanks for the comments. In this particular case I'm not modifying my interface 
layout for different screen sizes - it's a quick implementation and at this 
stage isn't a concern.

The reminder about the splash screens solved the issue for me though there 
still must have been some "misfit" - as the app was working ok (in relation to 
this) in LC8. On re-selecting the same splash screen files, it successfully 
filled and stretched to cover the screen... what I was expecting. So thanks for 
the reminder!

cheers

Alan :-)

Re: mobile - fullscreenmode "exactFit"

[Colin Holgate via use-livecode]

On the exactFit question, I still can’t think of a use case for that mode. What 
it should do is stretch your card contents to fill the screen. The other 
fullscreenmodes are more useful.

Do you lay out your interface with code? If not, what’s your approach for 
handling 16:9 iPhone screen and 4:3 iPad screen?

One other thing, if you’re testing on a physical iPhone, whether the card fills 
the whole screen depends on if you have included the default-5...@2x.png splash 
screen. Without that it will only fill the center area, there would be borders 
too.

mobile - fullscreenmode "exactFit"

[Alan via use-livecode]

On mobile, shouldn't

   set the fullscreenmode of this stack to "exactFit"

scale the stack so that it fits on, and fills, the mobile screen?

I seem to having problems with this using LC9dp7 currently.

Also have an unrelated problem with a menuButton option called "Dead" not being 
passed through when selected, though the "Alive" one is successfully on the 
same button. Weird. Perhaps time to re-boot...

Ideas?

cheers

Alan :-)
