Sizing Story for Mobile Devices
Jul 24, 2012

Hi,
Can any mobile folks out there give best practices on how to scale the size of a story for delivery on a mobile device, i.e. how to think about ratios, the way the story size changes once handled by a mobile device, code that tells a story to automatically adjust to the screen size etc.?
I am trying to develop for Lenovo tablets running Android 4.0.3 and am new to the arena of mobile development, but need a solution for maximizing the real estate for viewing our learning materials on
our tablets.
Cheers,
Renee

Hi! Do Lenovo tablets have as aspect ration of 4:3 like the iPad?
If so, here's a thread on iPad screen sizes that might be useful: http://community.articulate.com/forums/p/14402/83901.aspx
We have different tablets with different aspect ratios, but the one I am concerned with right now appears to have an aspect ratio of 16:9.
Thanks!
Renee,
You can change the canvas size to a 16:9 ratio via the story size button in the Design tab.
As for dynamically changing the size based upon the browser or mobile device, this isn't something
that's currently available, but would make a great feature request!

This is helpful for Storyline users, but what about Articulate Studio users? Is there a way to scale for mobile content and if so, are there some best practices available?
