Part 5: Android and iOS: Developing an application 127 Managing anchors in the Product form All controls have been positioned in the Product form. The vertical and horizontal resolution may differ according to the devices. The anchoring is used to adapt the size of controls to the resolution and to avoid displaying "empty" areas in the window (especially at the bottom right). If the application’s target device is known since the creation of the project, the windows adopt the size of the target device. No anchoring is required. If the target device of application is not known or if several devices are used, the smallest common resolution must be chosen as soon as project creation. The anchoring is required in this case. ▶ To define the anchoring that will be applied to the different window controls: 1.
