scenes not displaying correctly

[Richard Wallace]

This one has been plaguing me for a while now!

 

I have a scene set to be displayed as activity, full window, no bar

 

in order to test this i have created a very basic scene. Only 1 element a rectangle.

 

I have a task to launch the scene = Destroy scene > Creat scene > Show scene (activity, full window, no bar)

 

However, the rectandle is not the full width of the screen. Yet in the scene editor it is?!?!

 

Attached are screenshots of editor mode and the scene running.

Ive also attached the description for the scene.

 

Please help someone as this is driving me bananas! And i hate bananas!!

OK. More confused now.
I'm trying to make a basic scene showing system info etc.
I've got 4 'pages'.
And a blue rectangle element to highlight the current active page.
In the editor I've set the position, x and y coordinates.
When I click on another page to switch to say, battery info, the marker moves using a element position action. I've set the x coordinate, and the y, which basically doesn't change.
Logical?
However, the marker y position change!? As in the pictures.
Any ideas as this is driving me mad!

It is a scaling thing.  When you show as full window the notify bar is left showing.  When tasker resizes the scene it will maintain the aspect ratio. So the height can not get to full screen therefore the width does not go to full screen.  You can show as full display and not have the notify bar or adjust the scene height (smaller)  in the scene properties. From the first scene edit screen  press menu / properties.

I think this could be a scaling thing as well. When you use full display or full window tasker will always try to resize to fit your screen so the resize could be a little different. . The way you should do this is to test the element position first then use those coordinates to slide your bar.

You need 3 things when working on Tasker scenes

1. Patience
2. A whole lot of time
3. Patience.......

Amen to that!!

 

Ive got another issue now! Not a problem, just an annoyance!

 

Im trying to figure out the best way to have 'pages' in a scene.

Ive decided to opt for 4 webviews (to allow better formatting) for each tab of my scene...

Works as i want it too. Press one tab hides the current web view (Scene Element visibility) and shows the tab im moving to....

but on the first tap to change tabs im getting a weird flickering kind of animation even though ive set animation speed to 0?

Susequent tab changes dont have the flickering...

No idea on that one. Have not used web view... 

[Richard Wallace]

Ill live with it...for now, until the project is visually and progmatically completed.

Then i may work on ironing it out !!

Rich thanks! 

I put my scene now to 1080 x 1680 and now I have full screen.

Works :)
