I am working on windows 10 mobile app. If I design an UI for 5' device, it doesn't look good on 5.2' device. Also on emulators of different screen size show messed up UI. Is there any work around this? Or do I have to design it for every screen size?
Usually, please avoid to have fixed Width/Height for your controls. With a Grid layout, you can set columns/rows and place your controls inside each cells. This is a first level to adapt properly your interface. In addition, UWP provides AdaptiveTriggers if you want to adapt the layout based on the screen resolution (cf. https://channel9.msdn.com/Series/A-Developers-Guide-to-Windows-10/07) for additional information. Last but not least, please check Design&UI documention on https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/design.
The trick is with UWP that you can design for every screensize at once. It's just a responsive design you use (either HTML/CSS or XAML). But you have to use the right controls and settings.
Some guidance on how to design for various sizes can be found at the MSDN design page.
To create a dynamic layout with XAML, see this article. There are various panel-types you can use to do the layout (see this article). But if you really want to build a responsive UI (or change it dramatically in various sizes) RelativePanel is your friend.

When I create a site there's a lot of white space around a section. That's the only section and I'd like to have very little margin.
Is ti possible to change the margin / padding?
It helps to distinguish between classic and new Google Sites when asking questions, as the answer is not always the same for each.
Assuming you mean new Google Sites then as far as your question is concerned, the answer is no.
New Google Sites is pretty good at automatically configuring the output for different sizes, and orientation, of screens to support monitors, tablets, and phones. The trade off for that is that you loose some control over how the content is displayed; including margins and padding.
You can embed your own HTML, and have far more control of what happens with that section of display. But not outside of it.
Hi all !!
I'm newbie to android, Can i get any solutions to make my android app layout that fits in all screens.
If there is any tutorial on it, that would be appreciated !!
Thanks,
Create the following folders in res and add the xml in that
res/layout-small
res/layout-normal
res/layout-large
res/layout-xlarge
And open it from studio layout and make changes.
this link helps you.
The Android resource system gives you the tools to provide alternate resources based on the available width, height, or smallest width — important measurements that serve as the basis for choosing when to change our UI based on the space available.
Width and Breakpoints
Width is perhaps the most important dimension when it comes to choosing when to change your UI. This is because width is the basis for the breakpoint system.
A very good example is here
Iwould like to add a button at the end of a listView in the same way as the bing apps do (see picture for example).
I looked for hours in google and in the microsoft documentation but canøt find anything that can give me an idea of how to do this.
Did anyone achieved this?
thanks
If you run that app (Health & Fitness), then run Visual Studio and use Debug > Attach to Process, you can open the DOM Explorer and examine how that UI is implemented.
What you'll see in this case is that it's not using a ListView at all, but rather it's own custom control that's just based on a CSS grid. That is, just because there's a grid-like view doesn't mean it's a ListView. You can always use straight HTML/CSS layout to achieve these sorts of things, which is all that's happening here. As such, it just makes separate div's for those two "More" elements.
Now if you do want to use a ListView, there are a few things you can do. First of all, if you want to render any item in a ListView differently than others, you have to make sure to use a different template. What this means is that you use an item rendering function rather than a declarative template, which then enables you to examine the item data and programmatically decide what kind of rendering to perform.
Second, if you want to have items of different sizes, then you need to use cell spanning. In Windows 8.0/WinJS 1.0 this is a property of the GridLayout. In Windows 8.1/WinJS 2.0 you instead use the CellSpanningLayout.
I have all the details for both rending functions and cell spanning written up in Chapter 7 of my second edition preview of Programming Windows Store Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which is a free ebook from Microsoft Press so it doesn't cost you anything. :)
I am trying to find the best method in order to create a horizontal website, full screen and if possible responsive, minimum width to be for tablets. The thing is that I need also the horizontal scrolling with the mousewheel, and I saw that fullPage.js doesn't support that or at least i couldn't manage to make it work on this plugin.
Anyway, I need an idea on building the template, with full screen sections displayed inline - I will be very grateful for any tip. Thanks.
Making horizontally responsive is bit tricky and requires a lot of effort.. There can be many many design approaches for making it responsive. It can't just be described with JSFiddle snippets..
However, I have something for you that will definitely get you started with "Horizontal Responsive Layout designing"..
This is must guide / tutorial for people who want to get started with Horizontal Responsive approach
http://tympanus.net/codrops/2012/04/02/responsive-horizontal-layout/
you could use one of the tools listed in the following links
http://www.cssdesignawards.com/articles/15-excellent-jquery-plugins-to-spice-up-your-sites/44/
http://jquery-plugins.net/scrollit-js-jquery-plugin-for-scrolling-pages
or you could also mix raw js/jquery with anchor links and add animations when clicked. in taht case you can scroll down using mouse wheel and also have fancy animations when a link is clicked
regarding responsiveness use css media queries
Well, simple situation. Is it possible to detect if a user has a dual monitor setup from a web application?
If this is possible, is it possible to open a child browser page on this second monitor, so the new window doesn't overlap the old one?
Reason why I ask: I'm working on a web application and at home I have a dual-monitor system. When I go to the administration part of this site, I want it to open in a new browser, preferably on the other desktop. Of course, I could just click, then drag the new window, but doing this automatically seems more fun. :-)
Don't think JavaScript has the proper functions for this. How about Java itself?
I don't think you'll be able to directly detect a dual monitor setup, but you can probably make a good guess by looking at their screen resolution, using javascript's screen.width and screen.height. If the ratio of the width to the height is 8:3, its a good chance they have 2 standard 4:3 monitors side by side. You can do a similar calculation for 16:9 or 16:10.
Using maxpower47's suggestion about resolution, the only way to display the page on the other monitor would be to open a popup, and use the options to set the top, right, width and height properties so the window will appear on the second monitor in a decent size.
Here is a link that describes how to do this: http://www.netmechanic.com/news/vol4/javascript_no7.htm
