Android does receive orientationChanged messages. I've been tinkering
with Swami's test stack, and dynamic positioning (no fullscreenMode)
works fine with some effort.
The footer isn't a widget, it's a group containing half a dozen
controls, so they all need to be individually managed. You were right
that they weren't in the correct position on Android.
Swami's real project has thousands of controls over many hundreds of
unique cards. I'd hate to be the one to write all the positioning
scripts for that. But for a single instance where he's having issues,
turning off fullscreenMode for just that card is a feasible solution.

You probably still want to set the rect for the footer to be sure it lands
where you want it on different size devices. That could be done in the
preOpenCard handler (just put it where it needs to be for portrait)
on preOpenCard
local tWidth, tHeight, tFooterRect
put the width of this stack into tWidth
put the height of this stack into tHeight
if tWidth > tHeight then
put 0,tWidth-50,tHeight,tWidth into tFooterRect
else
put 0,tHeight-50,tWidth,tHeight into tFooterRect
end if
set the rect of widget "footer" of me to tFooterRect
resizeStack tWidth, tHeight
end preOpenCard
If the Pixel does receive the orientationChanged messages, then you could
use my first example. That code does actually work on the iPhone, it is
just not necessary to manage it by hand like that.
