I've spent 2 years on "this subject" and, like Jacque says The "showAll" fullscreenMode ensures that the full height of the stack contents are visible on screen. This means on narrower screens, left/right edges may be cropped and on wider screens there may be an extra margin." So we that for complex layout, but for simple layout, but if you want to do you own geometry, I finally got working across numerous Android devices, just yesterday! Disclaimer: there more this that meets the eye. But we have a hack and works. You see, Android doesn't know the screenRect until *after* it rendered a card. No amount of preopenstack or openstack will work. What works is (Andre, God bless him, figured this out:) wait until one card is rendered for doing any geometry Note, the "wait with messages" are important in Android, can't tell you why, but eliminate then and you get crashes -- Stack card 1 - "loader" card 2 - your main app or module -- Card 1 "loader" script openCard wait 80 milliseconds with messages go next card end openCard -- card 2 "main module (app)" on opencard # you must give the device to "register" the coords! send "updateUI" to this card in 100 milliseconds end opencard on resizeStack updateUI end resizeStack command updateUI put the long id of widget "body" of card "SivaSivaBrowser" into tBrowser put the rect of card "SivaSivaBrowser" into sCardRect #store in local Variable for later put item 3 of sCardRect into tWidth put item 4 of sCardRect into tHeight put the loc of card "SivaSivaBrowser" into tCardLoc set the loc of widget "spinner" of card "SivaSivaBrowser" to tCardLoc set the loc of fld "Cancel" of card "SivaSivaBrowser" to (item 1 of tCardLoc, item 2 of tCardLoc+200) put (0,0,tWidth,(tHeight - 50)) into tBrowserRect set the rect of tBrowser to tBrowserRect set loc group "footer" of card "SivaSivaBrowser" to ( round(tWidth/2),tHeight - 25) # there four widgets on the footer put tWidth/4 into tUnit set the loc of widget "go-home-portal" of card "SivaSivaBrowser" to (tUnit/2,tHeight-25) set the loc of widget "add-favorites" of card "SivaSivaBrowser" to (tUnit*1.5,tHeight-25) set the loc of widget "share" of card "SivaSivaBrowser" to (tUnit*2.5,tHeight-25) set the loc of widget "settings-gear" of card "SivaSivaBrowser" to (tUnit*3.5,tHeight-25) end updateUI # works on portrait and landscape: on Oreo, Nougat, 2 Pixels, all different screen sizes. Of course are only <10 controls to deal with. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
