Detecting when an Android app finishes resizing to fullscreen mode

[Yaron 53]

I am creating an Android application that scales images based on the device's fullscreen resolution.

To enable fullscreen, I do:
1. In "Project Options / Application / Version Info" I set the theme to "No TitleBar".

2. Set "Form.Fullscreen" to enabled in the main form's "OnCreate" event.

 

However, I'm having problems detecting when my App is finally fullscreen, I suspect there may be a rounding error in Delphi's function, here is the log:
 

05-17 03:56:36.660: I/info(15344): FMX: ZP Remote: ZPR_DBG: Screen Scale                    : 1.3125
05-17 03:56:36.666: I/info(15344): FMX: ZP Remote: ZPR_DBG: IFMXScreenService.GetScreenSize : 1280x736 (with screen scale)
05-17 03:56:36.666: I/info(15344): FMX: ZP Remote: ZPR_DBG: IFMXScreenService.GetScreenSize : 975x561 (original)
05-17 03:56:36.666: I/info(15344): FMX: ZP Remote: ZPR_DBG: Screen                          : 975x561

 

05-17 03:56:36.664: I/info(15344): FMX: ZP Remote: ZPR_DBG: Client                          : 975x537
05-17 03:56:36.724: I/info(15344): FMX: ZP Remote: ZPR_DBG: Client                          : 975x537
05-17 03:56:36.940: I/info(15344): FMX: ZP Remote: ZPR_DBG: Client                          : 975x562

 

The first 4 lines give system detail from IFMXScreenService.GetScreenScale, IFMXScreenService.GetScreenSize and Screen.Width/Screen.Height.

Each "client" line shows the values of "ClientWidth/ClientHeight" on a FormResize event.

 

As you can see, the ClientHeight value is higher than the Screen.Height value, which doesm't make sense.

Simple...
After the Resize event - wait for application.onIdle - then check clientWight/Height.

That doesn't work, check out this log, a form resize event is triggered AFTER the first OnIdle event.

Just for reference, my current logic is to resize the UI after an OnIdle event but not before an "TApplicationEvent.BecameActive" event triggers first.

Seems to work, but I'm not perfectly confident that it works across every device.

 

Oh, you may also notice something odd with the last resize event, the form's WindowState value was changed to "TWindowState.wsMinimized" even though the app is fullscreen.

Perhaps this has something to do with the app being run on a phone with a notch.
