BBUI & Viewport Problem

Options

‎12-04-2012 04:48 PM

Hi guys,

 

I'm working on a maps app right now using BBUI & web works.

The functionality is great - thanks to video uploaded earlier.

 

The thing is that the map itself is way to "small". Don't get me wrong - it fills the device size.

But there are two problems:

 

1) the meta tag I'm usually using: 

<meta name="viewport" content="width=384, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">

 

is not working.

 

---> 2) the map's width and height must be 768x1280 to fill the device.

----> the markers, street view etc. are extremely small, not user friendly at all.

 

I guess this is becuase of BBUI because in former projects, not using BBUI, I was always able to use the meta tag and make it more user friendly.

 

Can anybody please help me out?

I just noticed this: https://github.com/blackberry/bbUI.js/issues/295

But it doesn't provide me with a solution...

 

Inside the BBUI.js search for "viewport" and delete commands done there.

 

But I guess everything's even worse now :smileysad:

 

 

It seems BBUI is fixed to the screen size of the Dev Alpha so changing this makes every proportion go crazy. :smileysad:

try this :

 

<style type="text/css">  html { height: 100% }  body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0 }  #map_canvas { height: 100% }</style>

 This CSS declaration indicates that the map container<div>(named map_canvas) should take up 100% of the height of the HTML body. Note that we must specifically declare those percentages for<body> and <html> as well.

Wotcha Flo

 

Try this...

 

Skip the width in the meta - that will definitely make this happen

 

If you wanna get everything fitting nicely measure the screen with some easy JS

 

     var wh = window.innerHeight;
     var ww = window.innerWidth;

You can now size and place everything as you wish

 

Mail me if you need the complex explanation

Try this as view port meta tag.......        <script> var meta = document.createElement("meta"); meta.setAttribute('name','viewport'); meta.setAttribute('content','initial-scale='+ (1/window.devicePixelRatio) + ',user-scalable=no'); document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(meta); </script>
