I've posted this as a bug for Android, but maybe it's just my phone.

Can a few others test this on various platforms and post the results?



When I run the AppGameKit Player on my phone, the text is always the default size, it doesn't change to match the SetPrintSize() command. I can't test it on my iPad right now. It works fine on my mac mini, just not on my phone.

I'll try to test it tonight. I haven't used Print very much in testing on the iPod touch but I'll see how your example looks.

Seems OK on an Android Samsung Galaxy S2. I tried with this code also, the print size increases...



EDIT: 'Code' brackets were wrong...

I believe he mean the size of the text inside the "StartTextInput" the text input control.

I did not find any commands to set that.

best regards Preben Eriksen,

Text Size works for me for printing text to screen. For inputting text, it is always the same size, for Android and Windows.

Oh I see. "setPrintSize()" is only for the "Print()" command surely?

Yes, I'm talking about the Print("") command, not the text input box. I guess it's just my phone then, since nobody else is seeing the problem. Hmmm... I'm going to pick up a Kindle Fire, hopefully I'll be able to test on that.

Samsung Galaxy SII (android) - the text appears tiny - see attached.

The fix is to to put the SetPrintSize(100) command inside the loop.

So it looks like the input routine resets the print size - on my phone at least - which it does not do on windows.

I always assume the print size needs setting when I make new text, so it always gets set when I make new text. I haven't tried the scenario where you mix it with inputting text without resetting the size.

I had been using it as a method of setting all future print statements but re-reading the help makes it obvious it should be used once "per loop". I imagine this will affect all print statements created during that loop, perhaps even before the command is called?

Okay, that's an easy enough fix.

The fact that the same code has different results on windows vs some android phones makes it a bug in my book, but it seems a case of "some operating systems let you get away with setting the print size once, while other operating systems require you to set the print size every sync cycle, which is how the command is intended to be used"
