With showAll, I wouldn’t even use code. Have the tools centered in

want tools to hug a corner, then it gets more complicated.

For the stack in question, the toolbar needed to stretch across the entire width (portrait) and the background image needed to fill the width of the screen.

How we solved it:

Design the stack at 16:9 with the toolbar at the bottom. Make the toolbar and image wider than the iPhone6 screen will display and center them horizontally. Use "showAll".

On Android and iPad, the toolbar is automatically repositioned at the bottom of the screen. The extra width of the image and toolbar groups show on wider devices. No code is required to adjust anything as long as the content region is within the visible part of the original screen ratio.

So basically, set everything up for one of the largest screen dimensions you will support (in our case, height,) let the LC engine move the controls to fit whatever device is in use, and have oversized objects that will still be visible if the opposite screen dimension is larger than the one you designed for.
