I can’t directly answer your question, but i’d like to tell you my approach. I try not to use to use any numbers at all. Instead I try using paddings, margins and relative layouts so that my views look correctly on any phone. It also helps me to avoid creating view for different orientations.
I guess that’s a good way to go. The only downside I can think of is the resource overhead on small scale devices and possible artifacts because of the downscaling. Actually at this year’s Google IO Chris Pruett recommended embedding only high resolution assets and let opengl handle the scaling.
I know this would be a somewhat controversial opinion, but I’d say it anyway: Don’t Don’t design for multiple screen sizes or aspect ratios. There are of course a few exceptions: Heavy web applications like webmail clients can definitely do with more screen real estate, and are probably flexible enough to accommodate a large range … Read more
Use Dock and Anchor properties. Here is a good article. Note that these will handle changes when maximizing/minimizing. That is a little different that if the screen resolution changes, but it will be along the same idea.
According to the latest Compatibility Definition Document, the definition for screen configurations require that: Screens MUST be at least 2.5 inches in physical diagonal size Density MUST be at least 100 dpi The aspect ratio MUST be between 1.333 (4:3) and 1.779 (16:9) The display technology used consists of square pixels In practical terms, the … Read more
unity changes its ingame camera to match the dimensions of the aspect ratio of the screen it’s using. Obviously this isn’t always desired, so there’s a couple of ways around this: 1) First method is very easy to implement, though it rarely looks good. You can simply change the camera’s aspect ratio to match the … Read more
To change the Android-x86 screen resolution on VirtualBox you need to: Add custom screen resolution: Android <6.0: VBoxManage setextradata “VM_NAME_HERE” “CustomVideoMode1” “320x480x16” Android >=6.0: VBoxManage setextradata “VM_NAME_HERE” “CustomVideoMode1” “320x480x32” Figure out what is the ‘hex’-value for your VideoMode: 2.1. Start the VM 2.2. In GRUB menu enter a (Android >=6.0: e) 2.3. In the next … Read more
You have two options: PresentationFramework.dll SystemParameters.VirtualScreenWidth SystemParameters.VirtualScreenHeight System.Windows.Forms.dll SystemInformation.VirtualScreen.Width SystemInformation.VirtualScreen.Height Use the first option if you developing a WPF application.
For retrieving the screen resolution, you’re going to want to use the System.Windows.Forms.Screen class. The Screen.AllScreens property can be used to access a collection of all of the displays on the system, or you can use the Screen.PrimaryScreen property to access the primary display. The Screen class has a property called Bounds, which you can … Read more
