App should start with larger window on desktop

So what should be default layout when ConditionalLayout is used, phone or tablet?

The initial size in MainView should match the default layout, afaik.

@Martin, May I ask who told you that the initial Mainview size should match the default layout? Just asking since I am having an issue with Layouts when I set the default layout to phone but set the inital mainview size to a tablet interface.

@Nekhelesh exactly, I had an issue too with the weather app some time ago. (Perhaps you can remember?)

Problem is/was, that the first rendering of the UI assumes the size set in MainView and tries to readjust the layout later on when finished. When started on the phone, due to some slower tablet parts, there was an overlay of a tablet component above the phone layout.... Switching to intial phone size fixed this and made startup faster and less flaky.

I don't know, if there's a way to get the size right immediately at startup time, or to set the initial size in MainView in conjunction of the platform, tablet or phone.

My conclusion was: It should work better, when the first time CondtionalLayout gets involved, the size is reflecting the correct size of the device. But don't know if this is right.

ConditionalLayouts will be activated only after the Layouts component completes. By that time the default layout elements should be up to date, unless you have a component that will be dynamically loaded and it is still a subject of lay outing. Like if the default layout uses Loader to load a document that has elements to be laid out differently.

Weather app will stick to phone default layout, until form-factor hints will be available in the sdk. (post14.04)
