Hi,

Having great difficulty in supporting newer Android devices with virtual buttons and cameras built into screen,

We currently do:
SetVirtualResolution( ScreenWidth, ScreenHeight+40 )
to put an empty area on bottom of device screen so device buttons work.

Problem now is we need to do the same for the top of the device screen(for camera built into screen).
Is there a method to center game screen vertically on Android devices?
We need to have empty space on both top and bottom of Android device screen.

Let us know, thanks!

Jesse

From what I observed, setting SetImmersiveMode() on will make the AppGameKit app running in true fullscreen, at the same time hiding the default Android menu 'buttons'. We just need to swipe the screen from the edges to make the default Android buttons appears again. So there is no issue with buttons overlapping,

I am curios how you are handling positioning of UI elements or game elements when you are setting the virtual resolution to the device width and height? Device resolution can obviously vary widely, from 1280x720 (or lower) on older devices to 3200x1440 on the galaxy s20 for example. Are you using your own percentage based system?
