Scaling: Handling Screen and Object Sizes

Supporting UI scalability in a user interface toolkit means that container components and UI components are scaled properly when the resolution or screen size changes. The Elementary library allows you to manipulate scaling on a per-UI-component basis using a scale factor based on the screen resolution, size, and profile configurations.

Tizen native applications can run on different types of devices, such as wearable, phone, tablets, and TVs. Tizen also supports various resolutions (WVGA - XQXGA) with the same layouts and resources. However, remember that you must always polish your work to create an optimal application for each device.

The main scalability features are:

• Multiple Screen Support

  Enables you to design applications for different kinds of screens.

• Scalability Support

  Enables you to design applications so that their UI can be scaled for diverse devices without problems.

• Resource Fallback Support

  Enables you to design applications which can use alternative resources for the device display state.
