Characteristics of a maximized Android window
Characteristics of maximized windows

Title bar

The title bar is used to display the title of the window. This title bar can be displayed (or not) via "With title bar" in the "Style" tab of the description window.

Action Bar

The "Action bars" replace the title bar of a window and allow multiple pieces of information to be displayed:
  • the application icon,
  • the window title,
  • some menu options,
  • ...
For more details, see Action Bar of a window.

Tabs

The tabs are used to display information about the different panes. The user will only have to choose the requested tab.
For more details on this control, see Tab control.

Looper or Multirow Zone

RepeatString or multiline fields can be used to display data in the form of a more or less detailed list.
In the rest of the wizard, several RepeatString and multiline zones are proposed, depending on the desired effect.
Size of a maximized window
The usable size of a maximized window depends on the elements taken into account in the window (title bar visible or not, ...).
WINDEV Mobile allows you to configure all these elements in your windows for Android:
  • The "Style" tab of the window description is used to configure:
    • display and style of StrikeOut bars.
    • whether or not to display a main menu.
  • The "UI" tab in the window description lets you set the window size for editing in the window editor.
    The size of the window visible to the user on the Android mobile is determined:
    • by the size options (display of the title bar, ...).
    • according to the selected runtime platform (for more details, see Execution platform).
    Note: This size is indicated by a dotted line below the window editor.
Additional options
The "UI" tab is also used to set the window orientation. Indeed, when the user modifies the orientation of his Android device, the window can:
  • follow the orientation of the device. In this case, the anchors allow you to define a window that can be used in portrait mode and in landscape mode.
  • be locked in portrait mode.
  • be locked in landscape mode.
Remark: When changing display mode (portrait to landscape or Reverse), the new window size is shown by a dotted line below the window editor.. All you have to do is resize the window via the handles and position the controls.
