DisplayObject Positioning

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hi, I’m new to Corona (day 1), so all apologies for the newbie questions I’ll be asking!

I set up a blank project with a dimension of 320x480 (phone preset) and I’m adding a rectangle to the scene , which I’d like to place at position 0,0 across the different devices.

I did the following:

display.setStatusBar( display.HiddenStatusBar )  
local rect = display.newRect(0,0, 200, 200)
  • This works fine for iPhone, iPhone4.
  • For iPad a gap at the top is added (about 30px)
  • For the Android devices a gap at the left is added (about 40px I’d say)

What am I missing?

Tia!

There is a really good forum post regarding the same topic, but I don’t have the link handy. There is also a really good code on code share addressing the same. If the blog post wasn’t enough to shed a light for you, it is worth looking for them.
