When I found MobiOne notice it was the best solution for application development, at the same time, especially after I read the introduction of the documentation and found emphasized there: easy to use, cross-platform for android and ios plataforms, development process with intuitive what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG), apps are Able to auto-scale Their user interface to render Appropriately varied on the different screen sizes of many smartphone and tablet devices, etc
I really see all this potential of MobiOne, but I’m using the program for almost 5 days and still can’t pass the initial phase. I’m riding up the start menu and the layout of my application is not displayed properly on all devices. If I create a app for Iphone, not show correctly in Android and much less in tablets.
Maybe the problem is on my layout, so I need the help of the support to try to resolve this as soon as possible and thus be able to continue with my project while studying the program.
I’m sure other users are also having this problem or may have, and this will eventually help them too.
Thanks
Hi
All depend what you want to display on your app !
If you want to use image (background or not) you need to make one app for each…
If you use dinamyc widget like text, button, bar, liste, footer header, panel… than can be configured for all devices in one.
You have to configure for each component the auto size. (red and green doublebox)Hi Sentenzai,
Look this image with all test devices that I did:
The first one (iphone) is original project, the other I just simulated in others devices/os. If I create first for android mobile, looks terrible in iphone.
The layout consists of an image (logo) inside a panel, another panel with 03 buttons from MO, and another panel with 04 image buttons.
Have tried various combinations, but always look different and have problems in other devices / os
Hi Appmos,
I have been in a similar situation to you. http://www.genuitec.com/support-genuitec/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3605. The problem is with the widgets not being able to automatically resize properly depending on the screen orientation and device. As far as I am aware there is no current fix for this. I had to fix my app in one orientation to get around this, and I suspect you will have to do the same and possibly do separate apps for separate devices.
For me the whole auto resize side of Mobione just doesn’t work properly at the moment, it seems to give very variable results each time I use it. I think is it a bit of a problem, as a large part of the development without HTML and Javascript knowledge relies on the ability to resize widgets and their respective “child” content with the resize controls. I just doesn’t work IMHO at the moment.
Thanks

Thanks for the informations and references. I hope this can be fixed by the developers as soon as possible. The MobiOne is a great program but these details are important. I suggested some features that might solve it: grid / table to organize elements and aspect ratio option to preserve the image proportions. Maybe in the next version? Who knows. 🙂
Yes a grid widget is indeed required, which I’m surprised the MobiOne doesn’t have it, while it is a default in all mobile app builders I’ve tested.
As in the attached image, I was testing the behavior of the fields in landscape, and without a grid, they were totally messed up. I’m still in the trial period of MobiOne, and this lack of feature will do it for me, not mentioning that there isn’t any support nor a reply to whatever question I post. That’s a shame, as this is a wonderful software.
I’m still waiting for these resources to be able to use the MobiOne effectively. It seems obvious that we can not produce a different application without a choice of aspect ratio and, of course, a grid would help a lot too. I left the program for a while, but despite not receive answer to all my questions, I believe very much in MobiOne and hope that the company invest in it, mainly by increasing their staff so that we can also receive adequate support.

Have you updated to the latest MobiOne 2.2.3 that includes the Keep Aspect Ratio property on image, image-buttons and video poster images?
Re: layout issues this is typically resolved by using a panel to fix or group widgets or localize their respective resizing to a container. I frequently will embed a panel within panel or more to achieve my desired layout. Your UI layout is solvable with a little bit of understanding of panels and auto-resiz settings.
Thanks for letting me know, Wayne. I’m not using MobiOne a month. We really needed this feature. As I always say, and I repeat: MobiOne is a great application and has everything to be the best.
Also take this opportunity to emphasize that it is necessary to define a feature that allows a lesser extent application (perhaps for the panel). This will cause the application can run well on phones that have screens smaller than the iphone and galaxy (in the case of androids), without compromising the layout, ie, the original layout is preserved rather than reduce it to fit the smallest screen

To be clear, is your requests for smaller design forms (e.g., 240×320 devices) or are you seeking something different. For example smart downscaling feature such that any UI will automatically fit smaller display than the original design display sizing
The intention is to create applications that can be seen at resolutions of 320×240 without the layout is compressed to fit on it, ie the layout resizes only above the minimum amounts, logically maintaining the aspect ratio. So we have the option to determine the minimum size of each element and also the panel. When the screen is smaller than these dimensions, the scrollbar is enabled. This option is also useful for you to balance the arrangement of the elements that we will use in the panel.
We have plans to provide more design time devices/display sizes, including 240×320. Would this be sufficient for your needs?
Sure. I thought of an option that would allow to make adjustments, but something more specific is better.

Hi Wayne,
I would be good for you to do a how to about this as i have spent days with the current Layout instructions and not got it to work. I’ve had to fix the layout of my apps to prevent issues between portrait and landscape views. I personally think its mobiones achilies heel.
In my opinion the current system just doesn’t work very well at the moment. Either its the current documentation on the layouts or the system doesn’t work as advertised.
Thanks
Paul
