I have written my first mobile AIR app. On my iPad, the layout is a dismal failure. It looks perfect in the simulator.
I have the application set up to run in portrait mode with no auto-orientation. It starts at 160 DPI and scales up. When the application is complete, I get the width and height of the stage, and then use these numbers to calculate the layout of all of my buttons and column widths for my datagrid. On the iPad, all of the buttons are spread way too far apart, several running off the screen. The datagrid is all supposed to fit on the screen but four of the colums ran off the screen. It is almost as if it calculated the width of the screen in landscape mode instead of in portrait mode. So I have two questions: 1) If you layout the application in portrait orientation, is the width of the stage the width in portrait orientation or landscape orientation? 2) I am confused on how to lay everything out on mobile devices with varying screen densities. Is it better to get the app width and height and then set up distances and spacing in pixels, or to use percentages? Thanks for any insight. This was disappointing. -- View this message in context: http://apache-flex-users.2333346.n4.nabble.com/Mobile-Width-and-Height-tp13813.html Sent from the Apache Flex Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
