OI Shopping List: Font sizes appear to be too big on Android 4.0 device #427

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Reported by Maff M.:
'"Default" font is HUGE, "tiny" is still very big, I have attached a screenshot 
from my galaxy nexus with it set to tiny font. My wife has the same app on her 
Xperia mini pro and it looks fine on there. Her default is like my tiny.'

Adapt font sizes to screen densities, taking into account backward 
compatibility to existing devices.

Instead of modifying the existing fonts, I think we should just add two or more 
fonts like (ICS) Normal - this should be a font that looks "normal" on a Ice 
Cream Sandwich. And (ICS) Tiny that is tiny. But one will also be able to 
select the others on ICS, if they want bigger sizes, the others will just be 
recommended for ICS?

By "fonts", do you mean the font size menu entries? I think new entries should 
not be necessary, the problem appears to be that the application doesn't handle 
the very high resolution screen on the Galaxy nexus correctly (>300 dpi, 
1280x720 or so). In which units are you expressing the font sizes, and are you 
applying any additional density-dependent correction factors? For example, this 
effect could be caused by specifying sizes in dp (density-independent pixels) 
and then separately multiplying by a density scaling factor, which would apply 
the scaling factor twice.

Good point, it looks like the scaling factor is applied twice somehow. Not sure 
where this exactly happens - maybe when a theme is applied?
