Text field is inaccessible on some devices

Closed this issue · 6 comments

Hi! I installed the app on my phone given the "official" thing refuses to install, but I couldn't find the text field. Now checking the screenshots in the repo, I saw that it's supposed to be right below the "media" buttons, but in my phone that's the last thing that fits.

Do you know if it'd be possible to make the view scrollable so it can be accessed, or find some other way to fit it? I haven't really done android development so I wouldn't know where to start.

Thanks!

This is how it looks in my device

As a workaround (and with more difficulty than I'd have wanted, given I don't have an android dev env), in my fork I've made it so the title bar is disabled so it fits for my device, but that's probably not the best solution.

Hi Altrisi, thanks for you input, I will have a look at that and fix it.
I will try to lower my screen DPI to replicate it.

Just tested it and the scrolling works great, thanks! For now though I think I'll keep using my version since it fits perfectly in my device without the title bar so I don't need to scroll. (what I_did is I added android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar" to the activity tag in the manifest)

It'll surely help other people though, the keyboard is IMO the best thing of using a phone as a remote!

Actually that make sense, this adds more real estate, I will try it and add it if it works/looks fine!
