The setwindowsize is not accepting the parameters for getdevicewidth and height. It keeps reverting back to the last actual numbers I put in. I would think I should not be getting any black borders on this, but I am.

What do I need to do to ensure my window size aligns with my Displayaspect on Windows? I want to set this up correctly on mobile, but its very hard to do when flying "blind".

+ Code Snippet

// set display properties
SetWindowSize( GetDeviceWidth(), GetDeviceHeight(), 0 )
//SetVirtualResolution(1024, 768) // doesn't have to match the window
SetDisplayAspect( GetDeviceWidth()/GetDeviceHeight() )
SetOrientationAllowed ( 0, 0, 1, 1 ) //landscape
SetSyncRate( 30, 0 ) // 30fps instead of 60 to save battery
//SetScissor( 0,0,0,0 ) // use the maximum available screen space, no black borders
UseNewDefaultFonts( 1 ) // since version 2.0.22 we can use nicer default fonts

I seem to be getting different results every time I change something and run on mobile with broadcast. And now I am getting different results even when I change no code... Is broadcast unreliable? Is landscape unreliable?

And again, I keep testing in broadcast. It works 50% of the time on iPhone and Android. I literally change nothing except hit the broadcast button to restart it. How am I not getting a consistent result?

What is going on?

So... more testing.. if I do not set any windowsize, virtualsize or aspectratio it defaults to aspectratio... Im not sure how setaspectratio breaks it... but it does.

The bad thing is on the iPhone if I start the app with the phone in the typical portrait mode orientation it does not default to landscape despite my code SetOrientationAllowed ( 0, 0, 1, 1 ). Andriod works. Is that a broadcast bug, or will this also occur if I send my app to the iStore?

But the setwindowsize will still not accept getdevicewidth and getdeviceheight on Windows.

This also will not work.
w# = GetDeviceWidth()
h# = GetDeviceHeight()
SetWindowSize( w#, h#, 0 )
SetVirtualResolution(GetDeviceWidth(), GetDeviceHeight())

This does not work:
SetWindowSize( GetDeviceWidth(), GetDeviceHeight(), 0 )
SetVirtualResolution(GetDeviceWidth(), GetDeviceHeight())

This does work:
SetWindowSize( 1366, 768, 0 ) // but no way to know what monitor the user is using why????????????????
SetVirtualResolution(GetDeviceWidth(), GetDeviceHeight())
The virtual resolution is correct. The window size will not change!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why in the world can I not set my window screen based off my monitor? It literally has no effect unless I use actual integer numbers and not variables.

+ Code Snippet

SetOrientationAllowed(0,0,1,1)
Repeat
Until GetDeviceWidth() > GetDeviceHeight()
Dwidth = GetDeviceWidth()
Dheight = GetDeviceHeight()
SetWindowSize(Dwidth,Dheight,0)
SetVirtualResolution(Dwidth,Dheight)

Here's how I do it:

type device_t
	width		as integer
	height		as integer
	aspect		as float 
	os			as string
	ios			as integer
endType

global device as device_t

deviceX			as integer
deviceY			as integer
fDeviceX		as float
fDeviceY		as float

device.os = GetDeviceBaseName()

if device.os = "linux" or device.os = "windows" or device.os = "pi" or device.os = "mac"
	SetAntialiasMode(1)
	aspectMode = 2
	select aspectMode
	case 0
		device.width = 1024					// iPad 50% 4/3
		device.height = 768					// iPad 50% 4/3
	endCase
	case 1
		device.width = 1136					// iPhone 16/9
		device.height = 640					// iPhone 16/9
	endCase
	case 2
		device.width = 1280					// tablet 16/9
		device.height = 720					// tablet 16/9
	endCase
	endSelect
else
	device.width = getDeviceWidth()
	device.height = getDeviceHeight()
endif

// convert to float and get aspect
fDeviceX = device.width
fDeviceY = device.height
device.aspect = fDeviceX / fDeviceY

SetWindowSize(device.width, device.height, 0)
SetWindowAllowResize(1)
SetDisplayAspect(device.aspect)
SetScissor(0,0,0,0)
SetOrientationAllowed(0, 0, 1, 1)
SetSyncRate(30, 0)

type device_t
	width		as integer

	os			as string
	ios			as integer

global device as device_t

device.os = GetDeviceBaseName()

	SetAntialiasMode(1)

	device.width = getDeviceWidth()
	device.height = getDeviceHeight()
endif

// convert to float and get aspect
fDeviceX = device.width
fDeviceY = device.height
device.aspect = fDeviceX / fDeviceY

SetWindowSize(device.width, device.height, 0)
SetWindowAllowResize(1)
SetDisplayAspect(device.aspect)
SetScissor(0,0,0,0)
SetOrientationAllowed(0, 0, 1, 1)
SetSyncRate(30, 0)

For testing on say WIndows for any device resolution and aspect, I just change the 'aspectMode' variable to one of the presets in the following SELECT/CASE. Where I can add any resolutions I wish if needed. Makes it easy to test all most common resolutions without actually owning all those devices.

Wow... Amazing. Thank you so much, smallg and Dybing. I redid all my sprites today to work with aspect ratio. You guys are bad ass.

smallg, your code works great for android, but for iphone I have to flip the phone around like 6 times(otherwise it stays in the endless loop). Not sure what is up with the iPhones and making it so difficult to force landscape mode. And I have no idea how this is AGK's fault but once I exit AppGameKit I have to lock the phone to get it back to portrait mode. No other app has caused that bug.
