resolution in android

Joao Alysson

I am developing an application in qt and I came across the following problem: when giving run or build and run the application in android I noticed that the buttons, combobox and other components are appearing in the cell asymmetrically, I wonder if there is how to solve, and do for various resolutions ???

A screenshot would be helpful, and some code, then we can diagnose better.

Are you using QtQuick Controls 1 or 2? Are you using layouts? Are you using custom fonts?

Does it also look asymmetrical when you build for desktop?

in desktop

in abdroid, emulator memu

@Joao-Alysson Do you use layouts?

So the problem is that these labels (Kc1, Kc2 etc.) should be centered above the input fields, right?

That indeed might be (slightly) dependent on resolution and (much more) on the font. But still, it should be possible to center them pretty nicely. Are you using QtWidgets or QtQuick for your UI?

If QtQuick, then try something like this:

ColumnLayout {
  Text { // Or Label
    text: "Kc1"
    horizontalAlignment: Text.AlignHCenter
    Layout.alignment: Qt.AlignHCenter
  }
  TextInput {
    // ...
  }
}

@sierdzio i like in yhe android im using qt creator is an app query, you change the parameters example: avocado, play the parameters in the textlist, just wanted to be adaptable, on my phone and a lg k4 and works on the screen all the same in the first image, already in the emulator memu, he cut the parameters, do not display everything!

Oh you mean that you don't see the button etc. So this is not about being centered at all.

There are many ways to fix this issue (I still don't know if you are using widgets or qml, I'm assuming QML even though I suspect otherwise):

place your UI inside a Flickable component, to allow users to scroll your UI on smaller screens
make sure your app is run in fullscreen mode and that your layout (you are using layouts, right?) does not exceed the window size
set smaller minimal / preferred sizes for your components so that they fit on smaller screens
if the UI does not fit, hide some components, or move them to next page or something

@sierdzio I use c ++, it's just that in a resolution it gets full in another cut wanted to be able to screen

sierdzio

No this is not (only) about resolution. If you build the UI in a responsive way, it will fit any (reasonable) screen size and resolution.

So, if you're using widgets, try meddling with size policy and making a tighter layout. There is plenty of unused screen estate in your Android screenshot.
