I love using the VRM app on my tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab A9, SM-X110) but have one feature request: keep the sparkline graphs visible on a smaller viewport so that they are (still) visible when I use my tablet in portrait mode (my default way of using the device, and the way that the most VRM information is visible at a glance).
As you can see in the screenshots, the sparklines are visible when using the tablet in landscape mode.
Interestingly, when using the VRM portal from within a browser (Firefox, in these screenshots), we do see the sparklines being displayed, even in portrait mode. It looks like the viewport is calculated differently though, since the temperature and location blocks are then also moved to the right-hand side of the screen instead of being below the “main” blocks (that are connected to the Victron logo) when viewed in the app.
That screenshot also displays the total screen size available, which would be used for the app, I presume. If I can provide more information, please let me know!
Seeing that there’s no response yet, I do have an alternative option that could satisfy everyones’ wishes (at the expense of more configuration options): add a toggle to enable/disable the sparklines at any viewport width, while keeping the rest of the logic intact.
By the sparklines to you mean the ant type things moving on the wires?
The everyone here might just be something related to the device and OS you are using. So user specific issue.
Scaling and rendering across so many variants of device and OS and screen resolution is bound to have some where it’s not quite right. Then there are device settings like disabling of animation. Odd though thatvis works in onve orientation and not the other and then in browser but not the app.
With sparklines I mean the little graphs displaying the recent history of that data (Sparkline - Wikipedia).
I fully understand the difficulties of having to cater to different devices as I’m in web portal development myself. I’m guessing the current cut-off point for showing the graphs is 1000px, which would explain why I do see the graphs in landscape mode. Does not explain why I still see the graphs in portrait mode when viewed in a browser, though.
Understood. I never knew the name for them. Appreciate the explanation, learned something new today. Awesome.
It does the same on mine between landscape and portrait in the app even on my phone and in the browser. I use mostly the browser on my phone to be honest.
