I posted a note on the forums about getting started with a new app,
(where to put the tool bars for Android) but I'm still not used to the
forums so I switched back here for more questions.
If I
1) use as my base design "template" iPhone six + (414 X 736) "9X16"
2) supply 3X images at 1242 X 2208
--resize to fit the stack rect
-- lock location to preserve this dimension change
3) put a tool bar at the bottom
4) have an area field above the toolbar for quote
5) plan to lock this into portrait mode
What's the best full screen mode to use to for this since it may open on
4X 3 devices (many other Android, older iOS and iPads)
If everything centers, then it would seem that the toolbar and quote
field may be cut off since 3 X 4 is not tall enough to hold the
original design.
How are you all handling this?
Exact fit is going to distort everything.
no full screen mode is actually going to reposition stack elements to
fit... right?
So it seems you *must* mess with geometry yourself like
on preopencard
put the screenrect into tTargetSpace
set the bottom of group "toolbar" to the item 2 of tTargetSpace #
will site on the bottom of any screen
set the bottom of fld "quote" to (item 2 of tTargetSpace -75) #
bottom of fld "quote" will always ride just above the toolbar.
end preopencard
Am I going in the right direction?
