Android Question on Android proper scaling

Hey there!

I am exporting an application with GMS2 to Android, I have set the room size to be 720x1280 which is the Android size I'm using.

I have set up my android settings with this guide: https://help.yoyogames.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001368727-Setting-Up-For-Android
Sadly, Everytime I export the apk and install it on my device (The device uses 720x1280) but it looks horribly pixelated, although when I test on PC everything looks fine.

Thanks for reading this post! I hope someone knows what could be happening. Could it be that I have to update Java components, or do something inside the Android platform settings?

Are you using any code to set view size or to scale the application surface?
If so, post it so I can take a look.

You could also try this somewhere at the start of the game:
Code:
surface_resize(application_surface, 720, 1280);
Also how big are the images you are using? Maybe they are bigger than the max texture size on Android.
