Re: [codenameone-discussions] Skin Problems

Sorry for the delayed reply. Google Groups flagged this as spam for some reason (that's one reason why we recommend stackoverflow).

Try unchecking the Scrollable flag as it will resize the skin to fit available size and allow you to resize it to any size you want.

You can configure proxy settings for the simulator which should also apply to the "More..." menu item for the skins.

Best Regards,
Shai.

If you are experiencing an issue please mention the full platform your issue applies to:

When I click on More Skins the simulator hangs, no window opens I have to kill the simulator.

Tried turn off firewall, did not help.

You removed the Android skin and we were told to use the Nexus skin. This has never really worked for me. Here is the problem the Nexus skin is huge. I use a laptop and have a screen resolution of 1920 x 1080. When the Nexus simulator window opens I can see the top third of the window. I have to scale the simulator to 25% to see the entire simulated screen.

You don't remember the zoom settings when starting the simulator. So I have to scale the window every time I test my app.

What I desperately need is an Android simulator that fits on a 1920 x 1080 screen or a way to set the default scaling for each skin.

Putting the Android skin back would be great. It may be outdated but the size was perfect which makes it much easier to test Android apps in the simulator.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Martin


Found the problem with the More Skins window not opening. The window seems to be a child of the simulator window, i.e. there is no entry for it in the Windows task bar. The Window opens towards the bottom of the simulator window. Because the Nexus skin is so big only the top third of the simulator window appears on my screen, the rest drops off the bottom of the screen. The Skins window opens modal and off the screen so the simulator is locked and useless. If I scale the simulator window first or move it so that the top of the window is off the screen and the bottom of the window is visible, I can access the skins window.

Still desperately need a smaller Android skin.
