Custom Layout changes for Android Players and Progressive Web App (PWA)

piSignage for Android is available at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pisignage.player2&hl=en-IN

piSignage Progressive Web Application (PWA) is available at https://pisignage.com/player2

While Display Resolution, Orientation, and Dual-Display configuration changes from Group Settings are supported on piSignage for Raspberry Pi, Odroid N2, Intel NUC, etc., it is not supported on piSignage for Android or the PWA.

The custom layout used for Raspberry Pi won't work with Android since there is a difference in the Device Pixel Ratio.

Android devices not only have different screen sizes—handsets, tablets, TVs, etc.—but also have screens with different pixel sizes.

Hence custom-layouts designed for Raspberry Pi devices might appear to be zoomed in on your Android devices.

Note: In case you want to display assets in the MainZone (in Fullscreen), please make use of
- Layout 1 for Landscape mode 
- Layout 2ap for Portrait Mode.
