Hey man, I was wandering if you could help me out with an adaptation I want to bring into you code?

I want to alter it so that the visualization will be shown across the screen width and not just in the buffer zone you allocated (256dp). I was able to get the screen width with the following code:

Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
Point size = new Point();
display.getSize(size);
width = size.x;

Now I would just like to know how to stretch your visualization across this width?

Thank you for the help!
