Stretch canvas to fit device

HI,

I have a 2d game made for android devices. I want the canvas and everything on it to stretch to fill the screen of the device it is being used on.

I know this will distort my layout, but that is what I am after doing.

I have played for hours and hours trying every combination of setting I can think of. I cannot achieve the effect I need. In Xcode it was very easy, just disable auto layout, and it will fill the screen stretching the content to fill, ignoring aspect ratio's etc.

I have attached "photoshopped" screen shots of what I want to do.

I have tried canvas scaling, camera modes, anchors, stretching and scripts that attach to the camera that claim they do what I need. Nothing works

Is this possible in unity?

Thanks, Mike.

 

Use a World Space Canvas and add this script:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.UI;
5.  
6. public class ScaleCanvas : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.     void Start()
9.     {
10.         RectTransform rt = GetComponent<RectTransform>();
11.  
12.         Vector3 screenSize = Camera.main.ViewportToWorldPoint(Vector3.up + Vector3.right);
13.  
14.         screenSize *= 02;
15.  
16.         float sizeY = screenSize.y / rt.rect.height;
17.         float sizeX = screenSize.x / rt.rect.width;
18.  
19.         rt.localScale = new Vector3(sizeX, sizeY, 1);
20.     }
21. }
22.  

 

It is possible.

Use Screen space render mode in canvas. Create panel or empty UI gameobject. Set it's min anchor value to 0,0 and max anchor value to 1,1. Set it's position, width and height to zero. Place other UI-elements as it's children and use their min and max anchor values to place them (relatively) with their position, width and height set to zero.

 

Many thanks for the reply's guys! I will have a try later today

 

This works brilliantly, thank you so much! I owe you several pints of beer!

 

just a quick heads up that you need to reposition the canvas so that it appears in your camera
