That's it. Like using a blown up iPhone app on your iPad. It's not the density the causes the problem it's the relationship between density and the number of pixels: pixels / density = size. By working out the size we can determine if a device screen is large enough for us to present the tablet

Hi chipp Thanks for the video. This looks like a really helpful tool and I'm keen to get my hands on it. Do you have any ideas for handling landscape and tablet views? For tablets I think in most cases you would want a different stack so using a main stack with most of the code and a handheld

Hi Monte, Landscape should work just fine-- it's the rotation which can possibly cause problems. One way to do this is with 2 stacks. Another way to do it is with a large square stack and different cards. The library has the ability to render objects on all cards at startup, or using a
