Scalable UI compliance

Scalable UI compliance
Thu, 25 Jan 2007 19:08:17 +010
Dear Sr,

I have developed an application which supports the 240x320 resolution, 
portrait layout, the resolution 352x416 resolution. I have two questions:

1- When I send an application to be signed for Series60 3rd edition, do I 
have to support all resolutions of the platform? Or might be possible to 
specify the phones which are supported by an application.

2- There are phones like the E70, which supports the landscape layout 
(416x352). Unfortunately my application doesnt fill the full screen. Is it a 
must to support it? Would it be possible to specify that this applications 
doesn't support landscape layout.

Thanks for your time,

Fernando

It isn't very hard to support multiple resolutions. Just ask the appui for 
the ClientRect(), or the screendevice in the EikonEnv for the screensize if 
you want to go full screen.

Going to landscape mode is not difficult either. If your app has a full 
screen mode, it has a landscape mode, as long as you use the SizeChanged() 
method in your appviews to layout the control.

We only support portrait mode and informed the test house about it but 
they raised it as a fatal error. Then we applied for a waiver which was 
granted but now again we have been told by the manufacturer that we have 
to at least show a message saying something like "this app only works in 
portrait mode" when the display is landscaped.

We're off now finding a solution for this.

Thank you for your experience.
We have just decided to support landscape mode.
