Designing for smartphone devices

• Smart phone development

Screen dimensions

A major part of mobile application design is to fit your content on the small screen. This table shows the physical characteristics of the phone you are using via Javascript.

Note that on Android, the width and height are not reliable. They are dependent on where you came from. I.e. If you were looking at a normal webpage before, then the screen width was set to 800px, and this is reported when you arrive to this page. Additionally, if you refresh the page, the space used for the navigation bar is subtracted from the height.

URI schemes

Mobile phones support several new schemes other than http:, mailto: etc. Here is some examples you can click on to test support in your phone.

• geo: scheme Kongens Nytorv 6. See RFC 5870.
• tel: scheme +45 3336 7100.
• sms: scheme +45 2368 3660. See RFC 5724.
• fax: scheme +45 3336 7199.
• mailto: scheme eea@eea.europa.eu
• loc: schema Kongens Nytorv 6. (Proprietary)
