This dialog box lets you define or edit a device preset that you can use in the Multi-Device Preview window and if you install the appropriate package for such device you can also view it in the View Selector and use it as a FireMonkey View.

The Device Settings Window provides the following items.

Item Description
Device Name The display name of the device preset.

RAD Studio displays this name on the Device Manager, the Multi-Device Preview, and the View Selector (if the appropriate package is installed).

Platform The platform that the device preset is meant to run on. You may choose any of the following values:
  • Windows
  • macOS
  • iOS
  • Android
Form Factor The form factor of the device preset. You may choose any of the following values:
  • Desktop. When selecting Desktop as form factor, the orientation information is disabled since there is no need to configure the orientation for this particular form factor.
  • Phone
  • Tablet
  • Media Player
  • Automotive
  • Industrial
  • Embedded
  • Watch
  • Glasses

You can use the tabs in the Device Settings Window page to define the orientations supported by the device preset, as well as the aspect of the device preset in each of those orientations.
Item Description
Enable Orientation Check this option to enable in the current device preset the orientation of the selected tab (Portrait, Upside down, Landscape left, Landscape right).

When you enable an orientation, RAD Studio adds that orientation to the list of supported orientations of the current device preset. When you select the current device in the View Selector (if the appropriate package is installed), you can click the RotateCurrentView.png Rotate button to access the supported orientations.
