Typically you need to handle field placement yourself in script, moving
the controls up on keyboardActivated and back down on
keyboardDeactivated. However, there's an unintentional side-effect when
setting acceleratedRendering to true in a stack; when the keyboard shows
up, the whole card scrolls up by the height of the keyboard. I haven't
found this useful very often, since it frequently scrolls the field I
want to target right off the top of the screen. But if your layout
accomodates that behavior it may be useful.
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.
The "noBorder" mode ensures that the full width of the content is
visible, which means in portrait mode you'll get a tiny little stack
that fits horizontally within the width of the device, and large empty
areas at top and bottom.
To allow both orientations, you can use the orientationChanged message
to set the fullscreenMode to either showAll or noBorder, depending on
which way the device is turning. Or you can write scripts that resize
and place all card controls depending on the layout you want.

When I deploy it to my 8 inch Samsung Tab A (Android) it is ok in the
Landscape mode, with one exception. When I go to enter data, the keyboard
covers up some of the screen that I need to enter data. It does not scroll
up to let me get
to the field of entry. When it is in Portrait mode I can usually see the
field but the stack only takes up about half the screen so it is very small.
When I deploy it on the Samsung S8, it is even worse in that the entire
screen is not used and therefore
it is way too small to really use it. I would hope there is a way to take
advantage of all the screen space so as the used has a larger screen to view
and enter data. It seems the keyboard is the same size and not scaled at
all.
Here are the script statements that I put in my "preopenstack" of my first
card:
set the fullscreenMode of this stack to "showAll"
put "portrait,portrait upside down,landscape left,landscape right" into
theallowed
-- Function Call
mobileSetAllowedOrientations theallowed
I have also used the "exactfit", "noborder" and "soScale" options but they
any help with suggestions or example code of how it should work would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Mike
