Is there a command to get/read the native device screen resolution. I has just been looking through the docs but have not found one.

Sometimes GetDeviceWidth() and GetDeviceHeight() will work. Not in Windows or Mac, but usually on mobile devices.

I was sure I had tried GetDeviceWidth() and GetDeviceHeight() before, wihout setting width/height in the setup file, and it didn't work - still returned default 320x480 on my S3.
Just tried it again with a little demo app and it displays the native width/height of 720x1280.

hmmmmm.

Anyway you are right, thanks. +1 to Ancient Lady

The setup.agc file only works for Windows.

If you are testing through the Player then it may be interfering with the readings. It probably has a default setting to start with.
