Does not respond to screen size changes on external display

[chriswayg]

I was trying to use this to respond to screen size changes on an external display like a LCD projector.

react-native-responsive-dimensions does not seem to change font size on the external screen based on its dimensions or resolution.

Using GitHub - mybigday/react-native-external-display: React Native view renderer in External Display

(open the screenshots in separate tabs, as Github resizes the images)

640 x 480

1280 x 720

Expected result would have been that both screens would fit about the same amount of text with the font being bigger on the 1280 x 720 screen, but this did not happen.

Is there any way to make this work with the current version of react-native-responsive-dimensions?

@chriswayg are you using window dimensions or screen dimensions?

@chriswayg are you using window dimensions or screen dimensions?

Screen dimensions, I suppose. - Since this would be used on projectors and other large screen devices such as TVs, its not the physical dimensions that I want to adjust to but I want a text to fill about 90% of the viewing area (especially horizontally), no matter if the resolution is 600 by 800 pixels or 4K. I can get screen resolution in pixels from react-native-external-display and calculate a scale factor based on that.

@chriswayg thanks for letting me know about react-native-external-display, i'll take a look into this
