runtimeDPIProvider in mx:Application?
Hello,
Just like retina display ipads, off late, there have been laptops with
higher DPIs. And we have some of our flex 3 applications in which all the
components look too small in overall size on screen in new laptops
(something like the screenshots shown here in this link:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/977263 )
We can achieve it in flex 4 :
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/mx/core/RuntimeDPIProvider.html
But I want to know if there is anything I can try to achieve it in flex 3
we applications, as it doesn't have "runtimeDPIProvider" property.
Appreciate your help.
Cheers!

Just happened to download FP 18 and looks like this issue has been handled
in that.

Thanks Alex. Yes, Ill file it. And hope something shall be done about it.
Just like retina display ipads, am sure many users would lean towards
retina display laptops too.

Re: runtimeDPIProvider in mx:Application?
Posted by Alex Harui <ah...@adobe.com>.
I’m not sure that 1980 counts as a Retina-class display. IIRC, the player
has reported 72dpi for desktop screens forever. I think you can also get
it to report 120dpi in some cases, but I don’t think they’ve tried to
introduce useful screenDensity except on mobile devices. You can try
filing a bug at bugbase.adobe.com and see what they have to say. They
could have changed something else recently that I’m unaware of.

Re: runtimeDPIProvider in mx:Application?

Yes.
It's just a recommended screen resolution which user can change under
system's display(shown in image in the link below):
http://pbrd.co/1M66RiC
If I change the resolution to 1280 x 1024, then
Capabilities.screenResolutionX and Y give me 1280 and 1024, which are
correct values. Only problem is the DPI value.

I have tried this on Flex 4 application(4.13, FP15, AIR15) and I'm afraid
it isn't working as expected. I tried to create a runtime class and DPI
value was overridden. But still there is no change. All screen elements
look very small than normal.
Has anybody come across this case on laptops(high DPI\retina display\HD)?
On iPad retina display, it works out of the box without any
runtimedpiprovider class when I use flex 4.13 but not on this laptop. When
I checked Capabilites.screenDPI, I get the value as 72. Looks like value
returned isn't correct nor is it getting overridden.
Any ideas?
PS: I'm testing this on Dell latitude E7440.

Oops! Yes, popup is still small in size. Dropdowns look fine. I'll check
that out. Thanks again.

Re: runtimeDPIProvider in mx:Application?
Posted by Alex Harui <ah...@adobe.com>.
If you just used scaleX, then I think you are scaling the Application,
which could mean that popups, drop downs, cursors and tooltips won’t
scale. systemManager.scaleX should cover that, and yes stage.scaleX isn’t
supported, you can use scaleMode instead.

Re: runtimeDPIProvider in mx:Application?
Posted by Deepak MS <me...@gmail.com>.
Instead of stage.scaleX i used just scaleX (core application's scaleX) and
it worked well.
Based on Capabilities.screenResolutionX\Y values, I'll customly scale the
application's scaleX\Y.
Thanks Om and Alex.

Ok. I thought scaleX\Y would work.
But when I try to set the scaleX\Y value, I'm getting error:
//systemManager.stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
systemManager.stage.scaleX = 1.25;
systemManager.stage.scaleY = 1.25;
Error: Error #2071: The Stage class does not implement this property or

Re: runtimeDPIProvider in mx:Application?
Posted by Alex Harui <ah...@adobe.com>.
Flex defaults to NO_SCALE.
In Flex, the SystemManager is the root. You can play with setting
systemManager.scaleX and systemManager.scaleY.
IIRC, there are several factors to controlling stage scale: the SWF
dimensions stored in the SWF header and set in the MXML application tag
and the actual size of the window. In AIR, you can control the size of
the window from code AIR also has the requestedDisplayResolution
descriptor tag.
If the SWF size matches the Window size it should scale more predictably.
I haven’t tried it with AIR and Retina.

Re: runtimeDPIProvider in mx:Application?
Posted by Deepak MS <me...@gmail.com>.
Hi Alex,
Just looked at it.
There are 4 different values it can take. I tried all 4:
EXACT_FIT
<http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/display/StageScaleMode.html#EXACT_FIT>
NO_BORDER
<http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/display/StageScaleMode.html#NO_BORDER>
SHOW_ALL
<http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/display/StageScaleMode.html#SHOW_ALL>
All the 3 options above zoom the application upto 400%! (components are
scaled up way too big)
Then I tried NO_SCALE
<http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/display/StageScaleMode.html#NO_SCALE>.
This doesn't change anything. It stays as is(components size look quite
small).
I came across this link:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23242855/using-stage-scalemode-stagescalemode-show-all-how-to-determine-current-zoom-per
Someone has mentioned this there:
"Finally, I accomplished the same by alternative way. I instead of using,
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL, used stage.scaleMode =
StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE and manually scaled the root to achieve zoom. Doing
this, I now have zoomlevel known :). Hope this helps anyone with similar
problem."
I'm not sure what 'manually scaled the root' meant there. Any idea?

Have you tried using Stage.scaleMode?

Hi Om,
Yes, Capabilities.screenDPI is there, but how do I set the DPI value for
the application?
I tried a trace:
trace(Capabilities.screenDPI.toString());
trace(Capabilities.screenResolutionX.toString());
trace(Capabilities.screenResolutionY.toString());
In old laptop this is what I got:
72
1600
900
In new laptop:
72
1920
1080
Based on screenResolutionX\Y, I need to override the DPI value of the
application. Where can I do that part?

Have you tried Capabilities.screenDPI ? It should be available in mx
applications as well.
Thanks,
Om

Scaling an app
Posted by Lane Friesen <la...@hotmail.com>.
Some thoughts,
I do all scaling manually. First, I write all (non-animated) programming for
600 pixel width and 1024 pixel height, hard-coded. Then I define a variable
screenRatio:
if(mx.core.FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.aspectRatio == "portrait")
{
screenRatio = (this.width)/600;
}
else
{
screenRatio = (this.width)/1010;
}
Most (non-animated) components are then scaled in the init() function, as in
component.scaleX = screenRatio, and component.scaleY=screenRatio. This
automatically takes care of some fontScaling as well.
I set up an event handler in the init() section:
this.addEventListener(ResizeEvent.RESIZE,shiftTheFrame,false,0,true);
The function shiftTheFrame contains
if(mx.core.FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.aspectRatio == "portrait")
{
here I adjust component width and height for portrait view
}
else
{
here I adjust component width and height for landscape view
}
This allows the device to be rotated. paddingTop for a TextArea and other
parameters may need to be scaled as well and can be altered in a rotation.
It can be easier to scale something like a button by scaling the label; this
is done with code such as:
helpButton.setStyle("fontSize",new String(26*screenRatio));
Placement of scaled sections is best left to MXML, meaning that the
components are defined using MXML and not dynamically by ActionScript.
Animations work faster in components that are not scaled. I thus place
animations in segments defined by
component.height = this.height
component.width = this.width
or width=100% if defined in MXML.
These various corrections are placed not only in init() but inside
shiftTheFrame as well, so that the component sizes are properly adjusted as
the device is rotated. Sometimes it is easier to develop separate
presentations for portrait and landscape view and then to adjust visibility
in shiftTheFrame (component.visible=false or component.visible=true as
required). Alternatively, components can be removed or added to other
components as necessary (as long as they don't contains html; the coding
will not fully survive a move).
Scaled and unscaled (animated) components are placed into the same page;
that can be a bit tricky because MXML can no longer do this for you. For
instance, one might define one component's position absolutely in relation
to the x- or y-coordinate of some named aspect of another (the tricky part
is that this does not always reflect the scaling). Also, you have to be a
bit cautious with height; give it a bit of leeway because of differing
aspect ratios.
A page with text that needs to be read must have options to alter the font
size - some people like the text larger and others appreciate it smaller. I
do that by placed html in the text such as <font size='25'>. I then do a
global search and replace for this text and replace the number with
something else (eg 32), depending on how the size has been altered. I store
the value in the persistence manager so that it is used and a replacement
automatically made the next time the app is launched. This allows me to
leave a TextArea unscaled; the adjustment for fontSize for various device
screen densities is folded into the initial one-time sizing of the text as a
preference.
I might add that I handle all persistence issues manually view by view and
use persistence only in views or components that require it. Everything in
one view is cleaned up manually before transiting to the next view. This
creates a snappy and highly stable app even with something that finally
becomes rather complex and even in some really old hardware.
I've generated an app (600 English lessons with integrated animated
exercises backed by multiple hours of either on-device or on-demand audio
presenting text with over 3500 new vocabulary words) using these techniques
that scales seamlessly and automatically (same identical apk file) from 480
X 300 all the way up to 2560 X 1600. It's just as fast with scaling as it
would be if there were no scaling (since any sections that require
animations remain unscaled; TextArea segments remain unscaled and thus
continue to scroll smoothly and easily).
Lane.
