I've created a game, and want to put it on Android, which I've made the apk. I'm encountering an issue when playing the game on Android, though. The game loads, and runs fine, but it's in the top left corner, and I can't find out how to stop that. While we're on the topic of screen resolution and such, how can I get my game to automatically get the size of the screen of the device, and fit itself automatically to it. I'm using the Android-SDL2.

I poked around the forums the bit, and found one about resolutions, and found this:

Code: Select all


function love.load()

    windowWidth = 480
    windowHeight = 320

    if love.system.getOS() == "Android" then
        local x,y = love.window.getDimensions()
        scalex = (x/windowWidth)
        scaley = (y/windowHeight)
    else
        scalex = 1
        scaley = scalex
    end

    love.window.setMode(windowWidth*scalex,windowHeight*scaley)	

end

function love.draw()
    love.graphics.scale(scalex,scaley)

    -- draw everything here

end

That works well, and makes it so the game fits on the screen, but now I can't detect clicking on it properly. :/ Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: I mean clicking on images that have been scaled.

Hey you found my code

This is how I deal with mouse coordinated:

Code: Select all

local x,y = love.mouse.getPosition()
x = x/scalex
y = y/scaley

but you can also overwrite the functions like this for convinience:

Code: Select all

_getPos = love.mouse.getPosition

function love.mouse.getPosition()
	local x,y = _getPos()
	return x/scalex, y/scaley
end

Another thing you might wanted to do add is love.window.getPixelScale somewhere on your code to deal with different pixel density phones, but I'm not sure how to make it work.
Good luck with your project

Yeah, and it's worked so far. I got it to work on my computer, so I've built it into an APK and it worked! Thanks for your help!

Would it be fine if I used your code for other projects, since it seems to work really well?

Sure, why not.

Alright. Thanks!
