Description

When the following code is run on a Sony X10 (Android device), the Ti.Platform.displayCaps are not correct, causing UI objects to be shrunk to an extent where they are unreadable. The following code demonstrates the issue:

Ti.API.info("Display dimensions: " + Ti.Platform.displayCaps.platformWidth + " x " + Ti.Platform.displayCaps.platformHeight);

When running 1.6.2 it returns "Display dimensions: 320 x 569" (correct) When running 1.7.0 it returns "Display dimensions: 480 X 854" (too large) See original QA [http://developer.appcelerator.com/question/120119/weird-ui-issues]

Sorry.... I haven't had time ( I had just went back to 1.6 to take care of it for the time...) In the app.js just put an alert of Titanium.Platform.displayCaps.platformWidth + " X " + Titanium.Platform.displayCaps.platformHeight on a Sony Xperia X10 i get 1.6 (latest) it's 569 X 320 1.7 (latest not RC) it's 854 X 480

Chris This is not an adequate usecase - it needs to be a script that runs without modification when pasted into a blank app.js file. Then it needs to be tested in your environment to confirm it demonstrates the issue. Please read the links I provided for more information. Thank you

Here you go... put this in your app.js alert(Titanium.Platform.displayCaps.platformWidth + " X " + Titanium.Platform.displayCaps.platformHeight); When running 1.6.2 (latest) it returns "320 x 569" When running 1.7.0 (latest not RC) it returns "480 X 854" This is on a Sony X10 Running Android 2.2.1

Why is this closed? I gave you what you asked for... It's a real issue causing problems...
Paul Dowsett 2011-06-13

Chris Please note what I said before, "In order for us to progress this issue, *edit your ticket* to include...". Please provide the *build date and hash* of the Titanium SDKs you've tested.
Paul Dowsett 2011-06-13

Also, as you have specifically mentioned UI objects in the summary and description, demonstrate the issue with at least one UI element included in your code. Ensure that you use the wiki markup provided.

How do I get the hash and build date?
Paul Dowsett 2011-06-18

When the app is started, the build date and hash are output to the TiStudio console. Alternatively, use adb -e logcat from the shell.
