fit on screen on E series

[gtsarakt]

Hello!

My application is image based, everything are on graphics, the menus, the selection etc.
For that reason every time it starts it checks the size of the screen and draws everything accordingly.
When the size isn't the default ratio (vertical:horizontal), it produced black on the right and left size that exceeds
on E* nokia mobiles, it doesn't! When the application starts the first splash screen appears as the default, but only half of it (the rest is obvious in the unseen area under the actual screen).

Is there a problem with java's getWidth() on E* nokia mobiles?

Can i manually (by the phone settings) make the mobile to show the application in a "fit to screen" mode at least?

thank you!

E61
E61i
Ε71
E71x
E63

Does your application work on any devices with landscape screens?

Do you use a Canvas in full-screen mode?

It works normally in E90 in landscape. May be a little slow in the online device.

My application takes the width and length of the screen, and then draws the part of it with what it wants, and the rest of the canvas draws it with a default color.

What makes you suspect getWidth() rather than getHeight()?

Do you use a Canvas in full-screen mode?

This would be useful to know.

Especially, if you do this:

setFullScreenMode(true);
height = getHeight();

This kind of code works fine on some devices, but on others it returns the old (non-full-screen) height. This is because resizing is often handled through the event mechanism, so the height doesn't change until the resize event can be delivered.

Indeed... based on the mistaken screen (before the application crash) seems like it has the wrong Height value.

but no, i draw everything in the default mode, and later i upscale or downscale.

I come to think that, that was the problem. I downscale when
if (width<240 || height<320)
and upscale when
if (width>240 || height>320)

the ratio of these mobiles made the bug uppear. Obviously i upscaled when i was supposed to downscale.


I will check it!

Thank you!
