Another great piece! I guess you did hit the nail right on the head; it involves a lot of work, getting use to manipulating containers and their properties to get exactly what you want; a bit similar to apply CSS to elements on a web page when starting out. Really applaud your efforts in helping the community. Thank you.
Hey Reza, this step by step tutorial is one of the best I have ever watched! Thanks for taking time preparing this kind of valuable learning materials!
I don't think scrollable screen templates are supported with this. I will recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
Hi Reza, this is very interesting, thank you for sharing. I have made a model-driven app and a canvas app for the same data table and both work fine, but on the model-driven app, when testing on my ipad (although by design as you said, it is automatically responsive, I noticed the font sizes are too small for me to read the text, wo what is the recommendation for mobile model driven apps to set the text font sizes a bit larger? while remaining fully responsive? Also the top header is dark blue be default in the mobile model-driven app...where can I change that?) Thanks.
Most welcome! I have no idea if there is an option to change font sizes for MDA. I would recommend checking on forums in case someone has done something similar
Excellent content. I'm just starting with power apps but I had this concern about making everything responsive from the start and this video made everything clear. I mean... at least now I have an idea about it, to really learn I need to put it into practice first. This looks like how we deal with html+css and I wonder if future updates gonna change how it works because honestly it's kinda complex for the 'average user' (the so called 'citizen programmer') and I remember some easier ways to deal with this in other platforms where you can create low-code websites.
Hi Reza it's a very useful video which I'm looking for.. I have a scenario where in the header section I need to add the hamburger menu.. How do I achieve this for making the menu responsive? Thanks in advance.
Make your header a responsive component and add it into the header container. I do not have a reference video on this scenario & would have to try it out to provide guidance. I would recommend posting your query on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com
Thanks Reza for a great tutorial. I tried to implement this on the first page of the auto generated 3 screens app (the scrolling records), after adding a container for the header record and configured it for "responsive design) the records stopped scrolling. Do you have maybe a tutorial for this kind of screen? Thanks.
I cannot explain it here on chat + I would need to try it out myself to know how. I would recommend posting your query with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com
Hi Reza. Another fantastic video as usual. You convinced me., my next app will be responsive for sure. I have one question for you. Your app in the browser uses all the width of the screen, whereas in my apps there are always two vertical column each side of my apps. Is it because they are not responsive ? Or is there a way to use full width on different screen sizes without using responsive containers ?
Probably because in the App settings, the scale to fit option is not turned off. It's my guess. I have done multiple videos on responsive design. Check my playlist th-cam.com/play/PLTyFh-qDKAiHe6pHdlyBbRK1b44bNAAN_.html
Great video, but any ideas for a dynamic font for the app? especially necessary when developing an application for a browser / tablet, but sometimes for a small group of users you need to use the application on a smartphone
Check powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Responsive-Layout-and-Fonts/td-p/501097 The formula used is to calculate font size based on screen size. You can store that info on load of App.
Thanks for this update video Reza, good video. The tip about working with the minus screen is worth its weight in gold. (If you change the display settings then all objects have their parent.width and height set back to a fixed value and everything is messed up) What I still don't get is: An app designed for a desktop 1920 * 1080 is not responsive on a tablet with a resolution of 2500 * 1600! I thought a pixel is a pixel regardless of the divice. Do you have any idea how this is possible? So I'm still working with 2 apps, 1 for desktop and 1 for the tablet, but that's not nice, also because of the extra license costs. 👍
Thanks. Not sure about your 1920 * 1080 is not responsive on a tablet issue. I will recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
A Great video...it's, indeed, very informative.. @Reza -. Can you plz make a video on the issue we experience while picking up DATE to edit form from Excel online (for business). The date picker simply goes blank and it doesn't pick up date from Excel table (date column) while other details from the table appear correctly. Any get around will help many of the people. I got the same issue posted by someone on powerplatform community but none of the answers fixed the issue..
This guide took me very far in making my simple app responsive. Quick question. Is there a way to have some like of "max" width? My problem now is the opposite of when started. App looks good on mobile, but very "wide" on a regular monitor. Taking up the entire space on monitor hurts the eyes :)
Im sure there are ways to do that using App width , max width and min width properties. I will recommend checking on forums at powerusers.microsoft.com in case someone has a solution for this.
Hey Raza, i want to add footer also with 4 button controls. i have added one more horizontal container to place the buttons. however i could align buttons properly and the bottom container is taking more space on screen with other container. How do i do this... i am not able to crack that.
I will have to look at your App in action to know the reason for your app performance being affected. I would posting your issue/query with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com
Hi Reza, Have you come across when going with disabling scale to fit, in edit screen height portion where we place controls is much larger and bottom controls do appear in play mode as it cuts off. Plz advice.
I have not come across the mentioned issue and hence not sure what the reason for your issue is. I recommend posting your issue with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com
kind of a big request, but could you do a tutorial on how you would take an existing infopath form that is attached to a SP site and make it into a power app?

Hey Reza, I am building a form, but i need it to be fixed size at first, but later if the window is minimized to a size less than the form, then the form must be responsive.. Any suggestion on how to do this ?
Question has no correlation to video :) I have no idea about the scenario you mentioned. I recommend posting your query on forums at powerusers.microsoft.com
Hello Mr. Reza Dorrani, I have a question🙋 I have a SQL table with Tx_number column but the data type is string, When I try to sort the colum using delegation sort method it gets sorted like string formate. But I need it get sort interger format. e.x. Tx_number - 10,20,100,105,200,222,1302. Expected - 10,20,100,105,200,222,1302. What really I got : 10,100,105,1302,20,200 , 222. Could you please help me to resolve this issue.
So if you select the phone form factor, you don't have to worry about these responsive techniques? Or should you still implement the same techniques as a best practice?
I do not have a video reference on this scenario. You can try it out and follow the responsive design techniques showcased in video. I will also recommend checking on forums at powerusers.microsoft.com in case someone has done something similar

Thank you for your Best input. To Understand better and to give rich experience to the user ,Amount of time Consumed to make One Responsive Design App, We can Make One Desktop App, One Mobile App ,Correct me if i am Wrong . Pls Guide us if we make different app for different Plantform with same Datasource . Will it be Proper. Idea is Atleast In One application Either in Mobile or in Desktop we should give rich user experience. Any Coding on AppStart will help . Can you give us the Video
The whole reason for creating responsive Apps is so you do not have to create multiple Apps. Biggest issue with multiple Apps is that if a change is needed or a new feature needs to be incorporated it would have to be built in all those Apps.
Hi Reza, I have created the canvas app and connected to SharePoint. But when I am entering the data in App to automatically update the record in SharePoint, that integration is not working for me. I have watched your video today and commented on that as well, if you can see that comment, please assist.

Hello sir, I have seen your almost all videos. I would like to appreciate your effort. But, in all articles I did not find how to make responsive a form which contains 6 textboxes, 3 dropdowns, 2 radio button and 2 combo box. We are facing lot of issue while creating responsive design using these controls. I would request you to please create a video using these controls which will be purely responsive for Mobile, Tablet. And request you to please don't use Gallery control in that video. It should be simply New/Edit form but it should be responsive.

The structure in how you put this together helps so much. Thanks for putting this together!

Thank you for the great video. I am having trouble pasting a Data Table into a container. Is that possible?
I believe Yes. You will need to add some control in container (example: label). Then try copy and paste datatable onto the label and see if it works.
Excelent video. Just one question.. How do you make the font size responsive?...

You can use the Value function to convert string to Value.
So if you select the phone form factor, you don't have to worry about these responsive techniques? Or should you still implement the same techniques as a best practice?
You would still need to take these techniques into consideration. Canvas Power Apps are not responsive by design.
