Window size adjustment on Smartphone (Xperia Z2)

Flaming Moe

Hello there,

since yesterday i have my first smartphone (i know, hard to believe), it´s a Xperia Z2 running on Android.
With the help of the mighty internet I already could set up the toolchain to deploy Apps from desktop PC to Smartphone.
I have trouble to adjust the proportions of the widgets. I really mean proportions, not absolute size, since i know it would depend on resolution.
The proportions are completely different compared to when running on the desktop PC.

I guess it´s something fundamental i´m not considering. Any suggestions?

best regads,
Moe

PS.: had no ideas about useful keywords to search for...

Hi,

Can you show an image of what happens ?

How can i load a photo? Or is it only possible via a link?

best regards,
Moe

Ok, i´m home and loaded the fotos in DropBox

As you can see in the picture, the red backround of the ui only exits under the slider and numbers. Also the black rectangle at the top has allways the same size and positions, no matter which values i use in setGeometry();

The "App" itself

The ui

The MainFile:

#include <QTimer>
#include <QWidget>
#include <QApplication>
#include "acc.h"
#include <QVBoxLayout>
#include <QScreen>
#include <QGuiApplication>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    QScreen* screen =  QApplication::screens().at(0);
    QWidget w;

    QWidget* testWidget = new QWidget;
    testWidget->setGeometry(0, 0, 50, 20);
    testWidget->setStyleSheet("background-color:black");
    //w.setBaseSize(100, 100);

    QTimer* timer = new QTimer();
    ACC* acc = new ACC();
    acc->screen = screen;

    QVBoxLayout* layout;
    layout = new QVBoxLayout(&w);
    layout->addWidget(testWidget);
    layout->addWidget(acc);

    QObject::connect(timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), acc, SLOT(triggerCap()));
    timer->start(10);

    w.show();//acc->show();
    a.exec();
    return 1;
}

You put testWidget in a layout, that's why it won't have the geometry you set on it.

How are you setting the red background ?

Flaming Moe

The background is set by a stylesheet "background-color:red" in the creator.
Also when i set this by code, only the elements are underlayed with red.

May be it´s some kind of property i need to set? I parsed them, but i´m not sure.

Flaming Moe

In between i made by code a widget with yellow background which contains 3 numbers.
This works out. So i think it has something to do with the Widget Designer, some corresponding properties...

Did you set the red background on each separated widget or on the containing widget ?

Flaming Moe

On the containing widget.

I solved it by a workaround. That means, i don´t know if it´s a workaround, main thing is, it works.

In the QtDesigner I put a normal blank widget on the Form at first and on top of that Widget the slider and Numbers. Now it´s solid painted.

First i tried something with "setBackgroundRole(QPalette::ColorRole role)"

SGaist

It think I may have understood your problem. You didn't put your separated widgets in a layout ?
