Subject: Font and Zoom levels

v4.8.8 Pro
Samsung Galaxy Tab S3

*Behaviour confirmation:*
First can you confirm that:

1. When setting your default font, then that is actually the "minimum" font
size you are setting, and that subsequently "Zooming in" increases the font
size up to 7 times, and zooming out zooms out no further than your default
size - this is the behaviour I observe if I set default size to Huge i.e. I
cannot "Zoom Out" any further than huge.

2. If you Zoom In (e.g. by 1 level) on a feed, then the zoom level is
remembered for that feed until the Default font size is set to something
else.

*Possible Bug:*
I have moved from a HTC Desire to Samsung S3. The first thing I noticed was
that the default font size appeared very small onscreen even though I was
using the default setting of "Normal". i.e. it was much smaller than what
"Normal" looked like on the Desire.

When I Zoomed-Out on the small text, it actually Zoomed-In by 1 level i.e.
it seemed to "catch up" with the default setting. From that point on I
could not Zoom-out any further. I could Zoom in up to 7 times and zoom back
to the default size.

*Font Behaviour Request:*
My Preferred font size on the S3 is "Normal" + 1x Zoom-In level. This gives
me a font size somewhere between Normal and Large. However to achieve this
I need to do this on every feed. And then if I make a change to the Default
size, they are all reset again.

*Preferred Behaviour: *I would like to set the default font size to an
explicit number e.g. "12" and that the Zoom-In function increases the size
by 1 pt for each level, and Zoom-Out decreases by 1 pt for each level until
it reaches are lower boundary e.g. "2 pts".

Let me know if you want the request added to UserVoice

Cheers,
Stephen

Stephen,

I am mostly answering from the top of my head. I hope this is correct. I
checked some things in my code, but can't do it for everything.

Yes, to the first part. The default is one of those:

 <item>SMALLEST</item>

    <item>SMALLER</item>

    <item>NORMAL</item>

    <item>LARGER</item>

    <item>LARGEST</item>
However zooming in is then delegated to WebView.zoomIn() and this
implementation delimits the zoom factor.

With SDK 14 Google redid the whole thing. You can then specify the text
size on a point basis.

It is remembered for that feed and view (web/feed). But only when you use
the soft "+" from the hovering zoom or the zoom in from the options menu
when you disabled the hovering zoom controls, not from pinch/zoom, which
only acts on the current article.

Did you use your old NewsRob config file?

Please do. Will think about it for the ICS release.

Hi Mariano,

Ok great, that explains it.

No, I did a fresh install. Also I still seem the behaviour happening on new
feeds. It's not a big deal, especially if you end up changing things for
ICS.

Great! Thanks for keeping on with it.

Now keep doing your wedding notes.

Cheers,
Stephen
