Template that allows full screen image in android auto app? - android-auto

I am trying to make an Android Auto app that displays an image full-screen or at least 80% of the screen. I can use the PaneTemplate to get mostly a split screen with text and an image but not what I am looking for. Of course maps / nav can use most of the screen but not any other template I can see. Any ideas?

I don't think we have currently templates to do that. PaneTemplate was something I would play but it's like playing with hacks.
I suggest reporting this at official issue tracker as "feature request" (Googlers are really reading that)

Nativescript Masonry-like feature?

I have an app that shows images that have different sizes. I want to display it like pinterest does. Images will automatically adjust and occupy the available space.
You can set via stretch-property: have a look in docs / widgets / Image.

What control is used to implement the screenshot preview in the marketplace

What control is used to implement the application screenshot preview in the windows phone marketplace. The control allows zooming , panning and scrolling of images.
This control is also used when scrolling through pictures in the "Pictures" application.
Take a look at this blog post. In it Morten talks about how to achieve what you are looking for. I've used this in one of my own apps and it works great

Basic layout of appcelerator app

I creating my first appcelerator app and looking for some info on whether something is possible, and if so is it easy to implement.
I'm using Titanium SDK 2.0.1.
I'm trying to create a layout similar to the Stream window in the Google+ app for Android:
1: A large header (Can the navbar property of Ti.UI.createWindow be adjusted?)
2: Two tabs under the header (Would like to be able to adjust height of them if possible? Are there alternatives to Ti.UI.createTabGroup if this is not possible?)
The main content I can figure out easily enough I reckon.
Any examples or links on how to achieve this layout would be great.
Thanks
There is no way to do that type of NavBar in Android using the native Ti.UI.Window properties, but you can just create your own NavBar using a view and stick to the top of the window. For the tabs, I'd look at http://www.tomaspersson.com/2012/03/20/titanium-viewpager-module-now-available/ - I'm not sure it will have all the options you need, but it is a good starting point. Good luck!

How to make or use a standard Image Viewer for WP7

I want to make an app that shows pictures. But I want to be able to zoom in and out with gestures. I fixed this by including a toolkit into my project. But my actual question is, can I use or is there a control that's already created for me to show pictures like the picture library of the WP7 phone itself. I thought there wasn't but the Facebook app has a similar way of showing the pictures. Did Facebook rewrite the whole thing or is there a control somewhere that someone made?
The SlideView control in Telerik's RadControls for Windows Phone sounds like what you're looking for.
Have you tried a MultiScaleImage control? It's designed to work with multiple layers, but if you only specify one layer, it might suit what you're trying to do.

Dashcode question - OnClick image to fullscreen?

I have a web app I'm building in Dashcode, currently every thing is working as advertised. I'm using the browser template and was able to modify it a bit, got the xml working to connect images and their description. Now I want to add a simple OnClick event that sends the image to fullscreen but I can't find any documentation for that. I'm pretty sure this is easily done so I'm missing something here? Any help greatly appreciated.

Taking over the screen is a bit complicated (if your talking about a full screen experience like youtube), but full screen in the browser window is defiantly possible. The simplest method is to have the click event open a link to the image location. This would load the image in full resolution in the browser window. A more elegant approach would be to load the image url into the source of a image dashcode object. and have that objects visibility only appear overs the whole web app when the Oncick event occurs. If you are talking about a built in function in dashcode to achieve a full screen/browser image, your out of luck.
