android-discuss, just say hello.

1. WebView with Gears:

As anyone successfully tested running Gears enabled web pages in WebView ?
The Gear samples are running ok in the android 'browser' application, but
not on 'WebView'. Do I need to enable any WebViewSetting() options ?


Thank You.

2. Which one scales with the screen... Dip, sp, px.....?

Given the recent discovery with the cupcake emulator I'm trying to re-work
the layout file so it's cupcake friendly and future proofed, but have hit a
problem.

What I want is for 6 buttons to take up a total of three quarters of the
screen width, but I can't seem to find the measurement unit which correlates
to this. All I've found is;

px  : Not screen resolution independent, so something that works on a
320x480 screen won't take 3/4s of the screen on different resolution
display.

dip : Scales with pixel density and not screen resolution, so the object
won't scale up as the physical screen size gets bigger.
Pt, in & mm : Don't scale with screen size so a 1 unit button is the same
size on a 3 or 30 inch screen.

sp : Based on font size and there's no guaranteed correlation between font
width and screen width. 


The closest I've got is the following;

<TableLayout    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                        android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<TableRow>
        <Button android:id="@+id/button1"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
        <Button android:id="@+id/button2"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
        <Button android:id="@+id/button3"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
        <Button android:id="@+id/button4"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
        <Button android:id="@+id/button5"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
        <Button android:id="@+id/button6"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>                      
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>

But this results in buttons with uneven widths which is not what I'm after.


Does anyone have a solution?

Al.
