copied!<p>I'm trying to dynamically build a layout, so it scales and looks more or less identical on all screen sizes and resolutions. I do this by programmatically placing my views inside a <code>RelativeLayout</code> and scaling everything according to a certain factor.</p> <p>I noticed something strange when moving an <code>ImageView</code> around though, the bigger the values on margins get, the smaller the <code>ImageView</code> gets. This gets really annoying when trying to get things at right place and size.</p> <pre><code>private void initializeObjects() { Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay(); Point screenSize = new Point(); display.getSize(screenSize); float scale = screenSize.x / ( (screenSize.x < screenSize.y) ? 480 : 800 ); // Scale according to Galaxy S II resolution RelativeLayout screenLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.main_layout); mRobotView = new ImageView(getApplicationContext()); mRobotView.setImageResource(R.drawable.soomla_logo_new); // a 743 x 720 png mRobotView.setScaleX(scale * 100 / 743); // Make sure the image is 100 "units" in size mRobotView.setScaleY(scale * 100 / 720); mRobotView.setPivotX(scale * 100 / 743); // reset the image origin according to scale mRobotView.setPivotY(scale * 100 / 720); RelativeLayout.LayoutParams robotParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(743, 720); robotParams.leftMargin = 0xDEADBEEF; // The bigger these get the smaller the view gets robotParams.topMargin = 0xDEADBEEF; screenLayout.addView(mRobotView, robotParams); } </code></pre> <p>Any idea what's causing this?</p>
