AIR 3.9.0.880 StageWebView and Retina MBP

[DasFX]

When I compile my app using AIR 3.9.0.880, my StageWebView is 1/4 size on my Retina MBP unless I pass true to the StageWebView constructor for the "useNative" parameter. Is this by design?

I have this set in my app descriptor:

<requestedDisplayResolution>high</requestedDisplayResolution>

Hi,

Could you please answer the below questions:

1. Is this working fine with previous AIR build?

2. Have you set stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE  in the constructor.

3. Which device you are using with OS version?

Regards,

Nimit

1. It works fine in AIR 3.6,  3.7 and 3.8.

2. Yes, see code below.

3. I'm testing on a 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.5.

Test code:

package

{

import flash.display.Sprite;

import flash.display.StageAlign;

import flash.display.StageScaleMode;

import flash.media.StageWebView;

import flash.geom.Rectangle;

[SWF(width="800", height="800")]

public class StageWebViewExample extends Sprite

{

    private var webView:StageWebView = new StageWebView();

    public function StageWebViewExample()

    {

        webView.stage = this.stage;

        webView.viewPort = new Rectangle(0, 0, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);

        webView.loadURL("http://www.adobe.com/");

        stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;

        stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;

    }

}

}

Thanks for the heads up.  Have you tried setting the useNative parameter to true in the StageWebView constructor?

Could you please open a new bug report on this over at https://bugbase.adobe.com?  When adding the bug, please include the sample code from above or a sample application so we can quickly test this out internally.

Once added, please post back with the URL so that others effected can add their comments and votes and I'll also follow up internally.

Thanks,

Chris

Thanks for the follow up.

Thanks, did you get a chance to try chaning the useNative parameter to true in the constructor to see if that made a difference?

[DasFX]

Yes, that does work, but I'd prefer not to since I'm also using HTMLLoader.

Ok, I talked with our team and they refreshed my memory.  The version of webkit provided with AIR does not support retina displays, this was actually one of the main reasons we made a switch to using the system version.  We unfortunately do not have any immediate plans to update the internal webkit with a version compatible with high dpi systems.
