Simply I tried to create display with size (1280, 720). But, actual display was created with size (2094, 1080) as the attached png.

Is any option or flag required?

On Android, you can generally only get a display the size of the physical screen.

There may have been a development with ALLEGRO_FRAMELESS and ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN_WINDOW, which is preferred to ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN. You should probably be happy with what you get, and use a simple transform to draw everything.

Some links ;

http://docs.liballeg.org/transformations.html#al_get_current_transform

https://liballeg.org/a5docs/trunk/display.html#al_set_new_display_flags

ALLEGRO_TRANSFORM t;
al_identity_transform(&t);
al_get_current_transform(&t);
al_scale_transform(&t , (float)al_get_display_width(display)/MYWIDTH , (float)al_get_display_height(display)/MYHEIGHT);

Then in your drawing code, you use the transform to scale your graphics up to the screen dimensions.

#SelectExpand
 if (redraw) {
    al_clear_to_color(al_map_rgb(255,255,255));
    ALLEGRO_TRANSFORM old;
    al_get_view_transform(&old);
    al_use_transform(&t);
    /// Draw normally here
    al_draw_my_cool_stuff();
    al_flip_display();
    al_use_transform(&old);
    redraw = false;
 }
 do {
    ALLEGRO_EVENT ev;
    al_wait_for_event(queue , &ev);
    if (ev.type == ALLEGRO_EVENT_WHATEVER) {
       DoStuff();
    }
 } while (!al_is_event_queue_empty(queue));

King Piccolo will make it so Then I could just flip it with some sweet, sweet matrix math. In either case, I’ll ride this wagon until the wheels fall off. Thanks to those that keep it running

Thanks for your kind support!!! I fixed the problem.

I have more questions.

1. is it possible to convert y-coordinate from top-to-bottom to bottom-to-top?
I tried it as below.
ALLEGRO_TRANSFORM t;
al_identity_transform(&t);
al_scale_transform(&t, 1.f, -1.f);
al_translate_transform(&t, 0, (float)al_get_display_height(display));
al_use_transform(&t);
it makes everything reversed.^^

I'd like to change coordinate only. image and drawing should be drawn in the normal way.

2. isn't "video" supported in Android release?

3. I tried to play audio (the attached) using al_load_audio_stream().
even though I set play mode to once, it is not stopped, playing again and again.
it doesn't give any event also.

stream = al_load_audio_stream(filename.c_str(), 4, 2048);
al_set_audio_stream_playmode(stream, ALLEGRO_PLAYMODE_ONCE);
al_attach_audio_stream_to_mixer(stream, al_get_default_mixer());

playing other files is OK. I guess that it's too short.
i tried to convert mp3 to wav. it is also fine to play.

Then you don't need to use the transform, but rather apply it.

Use

https://liballeg.org/a5docs/trunk/transformations.html#al_transform_coordinates

To transform *x and *y into right side up coordinates. But don't change your drawing coordinates or the drawing transform.

I don't know. Right now you only have support for theora, if it was compiled in.
