I ended going with Œletterbox¹ on android for my latest phone app and making a few adjustments so that the entire screen is used. I developed initially for iOS using a 320x460 stack that adjusts in height by moving the bottom bar (and sometimes additional elements) down according to the height of the card (which varies for different iPhones). On android I set the display to letterbox and then use a combination of the aspect ratio (derived from the working screenrect) and the width of the stack to determine how Œtall¹ the stack should be and set it before adjusting the location of the bottom elements in the same way that I do on iOS. I haven¹t tested this on a wide range of android phones (Samsung S2, S4 mini and Google Nexus 4 so far) but it seems to work ok.
