Chapter 5. Size Does Matter

This chapter is about building apps that will be running on a wide variety of devices: phones, phablets, tablets, and TVs. We will connect to YouTube to get some data and videos to display.

Size and context actually do matter. We could of course scale up everything but that does not really make it a better app. Tablets offer more space than phones, and when it comes to user interaction, TV differs from a smart phone. How do we make the layout scale and look smooth on each device? How do we find the right approach for each type of device?

In this chapter, you will learn from the following recipes:

Size and context
Phone, phablet, and tablet layouts
Media playback
TV and media centre
