I'm not sure what the fleet of widths would need to be supported on the Android side though.
They vary all over the place. Basically you need to calculate a ratio and set all the control sizes accordingly.
I can't speak directly to Android, but once you start doing resize handlers, I can't see using fullscreenmode. If you are going to position anything, may as well position it based on actual device metrics.
That's kind of what I meant. You either use fullscreenMode or you don't, but I can see a case for turning it off for a card or two when you want to use screen metrics only.
On iOS, all of the controls within the footer group moved without having to touch them individually.
I think it may be resolution-dependent. Unlike iOS, Android is all over the map, so when the group moved up (without auto-scaling) on the Samsung I was using, only the tops of the icons showed. The group's top margin was disproportionately large and the bottom half of the icons were still below the stack. On other Android devices you'd get different results, so you'd need to do all the calculations not just for size but also for resolution. At least, I think so. I'm not positive any more because I gave up all that work the moment the engine started doing it for me.
