Curious as how BT 1.5 handles detecting large and small devices. My Galaxy Nexus rotates the app and displays all the large device settings even though it's on a cell phone. Is this due to screen resolution? If so this could be a problem for all the new HD resolution phones coming out on the market. My wife has a Rezound and it rotates on her phone as well.

That's an interesting question, so I'll make a comment so I can subscribe to this thread! I know in the App Core Properties section of your control panel, there is a Allow / Prevent Rotation (landscape, portrait) selection, and you can toggle to only allow large device rotation. But I'm not sure what defines a large device! Mark

Huh, interesting :)

Did some poking around in the v1.5 source for Android, and found this snippet of information in src/com/<appname>/BT_device.java. Basically, if the width of the screen is > 600, then this.isLargeDevice = true. You can change this to whatever you want! //constructor public BT_device(){ BT_debugger.showIt(objectName + : Creating root-device object.); try{ //app delegate Application appDelegate = jesussays_appDelegate.getApplication(); //display info Display display = ((WindowManager)appDelegate.getSystemService(appDelegate.WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay(); //set screen size... this.deviceHeight = display.getHeight(); this.deviceWidth = display.getWidth(); //default's to portrait until it's updateDeviceOrientation() is called when a screen rotates... deviceOrientation = portrait; //are we landscape? if(appDelegate.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE){ this.deviceHeight = display.getWidth(); this.deviceWidth = display.getHeight(); deviceOrientation = landscape; } //large or small device? if(this.deviceWidth > 600){ this.isLargeDevice = true; }else{ this.isLargeDevice = false; } Mark

And further down in the same file: //updates devices orientation. This is fired on screen rotations.. public void updateDeviceOrientation(String theOrientation){ BT_debugger.showIt(objectName + :updateDeviceOrientation Setting to: + theOrientation); try{ this.deviceOrientation = theOrientation; }catch (Exception je){ BT_debugger.showIt(objectName + :updateDeviceOrientation ERROR: + je.toString()); } } //updates device size public void updateDeviceSize(){ //BT_debugger.showIt(objectName + :updateDeviceSize); try{ //app delegate Application appDelegate = jesussays_appDelegate.getApplication(); //display info Display display = ((WindowManager)appDelegate.getSystemService(appDelegate.WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay(); //set screen size...It's opposite if we are in landscape! if(this.deviceOrientation.equalsIgnoreCase(portrait)){ this.deviceHeight = display.getHeight(); this.deviceWidth = display.getWidth(); }else{ this.deviceWidth = display.getHeight(); this.deviceHeight = display.getWidth(); } //debug BT_debugger.showIt(objectName + :updateDeviceSize This device has a screen size of: + deviceWidth + (width) x + deviceHeight + (height).); //large or small device? if(this.deviceWidth > 500){ this.isLargeDevice = true; BT_debugger.showIt(objectName + :updateDeviceSize This application considers this to be a \large device\); }else{ this.isLargeDevice = false; BT_debugger.showIt(objectName + :updateDeviceSize This application considers this to be a \small device\); } BT_debugger.showIt(objectName + :updateDeviceSize This device is in \ + this.deviceOrientation + \ orientation.); }catch (Exception je){ BT_debugger.showIt(objectName + :updateDeviceSize ERROR: + je.toString()); } }

For sure it's a simple setting in the Device file like @ GoNorthWest dug up. The idea is that you can refer to the this.isLargeDevice property of the global device object anywhere in the code you want. This is much easier than doing all sorts of calculations on every different place you may need this. So, the isLargeDevice property is a generic 'if it's over 500 display width' then it must be a large device. However, this could be problematic for all sorts of reasons. Adjust the 'if over this wide' flag as needed ;-)

I am having the same problem with my Android BT1.5. It works fine on the emulator, but when I test it on my Galaxy Prevail, the tab bar does not look right, it is all squished together, and some icons are missing.
