LAMW: Adjust x/y

[c4p]

Is there a way to resize x or y axis  on the form on smaller sized dpi phones? example: button off the end of the x axis?

Thanks.

Ok, c4p.

I will try some solution....

Thank you!

I did a workaround by setting an invisible label at x 0 and entered a Text character until I reached a point I wanted (not ideal at all).
Am I correct that you can't anchor an anchor to an anchor? this would solve this issue.
I think the solution is being able to anchor a component to an already anchored component:
Example: An editbox to the right of label, this works using raAlignBaseline/raToRightOf in PosRelativeToAnchor, then being able to anchor another component to the right of that, *does not work*, resets to the top of the form but seems to be aligned with x, so y looks like it's being lost?
Basically PosRelativeToAnchor/Anchor does not seem to work if you are anchoring more than one component that is already anchored.

Really pleased with LAMW and the immense work that goes into it.

No. You can!

Here my hints:

[please, update LAMW from github]

You can get some device information using "jForm" methods
and handling jForm  "OnJNIPrompt event":

 Self.GetScreenSize()  //"XLARGE" or "LARGE" or "NORMAL" or "SMALL"
 Self.GetScreenDensity()   //"XXHIGH" or "XHIGH"  or "HIGH" or "MEDIUM" or "LOW"

and property:
  Self.ScreenWH.Width
  Self.ScreenWH.Height

And then change the components  position and layout

[According to your need]

  jTextView1.PosRelativeToParent:= [rpTop, rpLeft];
  jTextView1.ResetAllRules();
  jTextView1.UpdateLayout();

  jButton1.LayoutParamWidth:= lpHalfOfParent;
  jButton1.PosRelativeToParent:= [rpCenterHorizontal];
  jButton1.PosRelativeToAnchor:= [raBelow];
  jButton1.ResetAllRules();
  jButton1.UpdateLayout();

[c4p]

Thank you!
I will try this tonight.

Hmm, still the same, cannot anchor and anchor.
ScreenDensity/Size functions work great though, very useful.

Hi c4p!

What layouting you need?
Can you post some picture?

[c4p]

Example:
I anchor editbox1 to Label1....editbox1 is to the right of label so I set PosRelativeToAnchor to rAlignBaseline and raToRightOf this works perfect!
If I then was to try and anchor another editbox or label to the right of editbox1, y coordinate resets to the top.
Maybe this is not possible?
I did a workaround by setting invisible label and setting it as an anchor and spacing out to a x position but this is not ideal as will not hold position with different screen density. Not major for me right now, but would be nice to get the anchor holding on more than one.

Please, if possible,  point in picture [attachment]  what layouting configuration parts you need...

[c4p]

The graphic shows the component layout I need.
I need three components side by side, middle one is anchored to left one, then right one anchored to middle one. 
Right now I can only anchor middle to left but NOT right to middle.
I need it this way so when using high density or low density screens that the components are uniform and don't disappear off the screen or overlap.

Ok. 

Here is the picture [attachment]  and the ".lfm" code:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. object AndroidModule1: TAndroidModule1
2.   Text = 'AndroidModule1'
3.   ActivityMode = actMain
4.   object jTextView1: jTextView
5.     PosRelativeToAnchor = []
6.     PosRelativeToParent = [rpTop, rpLeft]
7.     LayoutParamWidth = lpWrapContent
8.     LayoutParamHeight = lpWrapContent
9.     Text = 'jTextView1'
10.   end
11.   object jEditText1: jEditText
12.     Anchor = jTextView1
13.     PosRelativeToAnchor = [raBelow]
14.     PosRelativeToParent = [rpLeft]
15.     LayoutParamWidth = lpOneThirdOfParent
16.     LayoutParamHeight = lpWrapContent
17.     Text = 'jEditText1'
18.   end
19.   object jEditText2: jEditText
20.     Anchor = jTextView1
21.     PosRelativeToAnchor = [raBelow]
22.     PosRelativeToParent = [rpCenterHorizontal]
23.     LayoutParamWidth = lpOneThirdOfParent
24.     LayoutParamHeight = lpWrapContent
25.     Text = 'jEditText2'
26.   end
27.   object jEditText3: jEditText
28.     Anchor = jTextView1
29.     PosRelativeToAnchor = [raBelow]
30.     PosRelativeToParent = [rpRight]
31.     LayoutParamWidth = lpOneThirdOfParent
32.     LayoutParamHeight = lpWrapContent
33.     Text = 'jEditText3'
34.   end
35.   object jTextView2: jTextView
36.     Anchor = jEditText2
37.     PosRelativeToAnchor = [raAbove, raAlignLeft]
38.     PosRelativeToParent = []
39.     LayoutParamWidth = lpWrapContent
40.     LayoutParamHeight = lpWrapContent
41.     Text = 'jTextView2'
42.   end
43.   object jTextView3: jTextView
44.     Anchor = jEditText3
45.     PosRelativeToAnchor = [raAbove, raAlignLeft]
46.     PosRelativeToParent = []
47.     LayoutParamWidth = lpWrapContent
48.     LayoutParamHeight = lpWrapContent
49.     Text = 'jTextView3'
50.   end
51. end
52.  

Note1:  All  jEditText are "anchored"  below  jTextView1
Note2: You can use the same model for two components... only
changing "LayoutParamWidth "  According to your need

Hmmm, starting to think there may be an issue with my form then, as I cannot anchor to another anchor.
