Re: Device rotation and browser widget

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami]

The caveat is: Safari app in iOS and Chrome app on Android "own" the entire 
card rect.  

Since, in LC we can set that rect for the browser widget to anything we want… 
how exactly should it be have when the phone is turned sideways? or turned 
"upright" (if watching a movie in e.g. Youtube, sideways)  

see:

http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17906

I offered one algorithm (brainstorm) at the bug report above. Anyone else 
interested can please add themselves to watch that bug and possibly comment on 
a better option for how a truly "responsive" browser widget should work. What 
hooks, props, are needed to fine tune the control of the browser widget… both 
placement on the card and orientation of web content in that rect?

a resizestack message.

Too many variables.

resizeStack usually doesn't for some reason.


Basically what I'm seeing is that LC handles the rotation but doesn't 
reposition or resize the widget.


Has anyone done this? I'm testing on Android for now.

Device rotation and browser widget

[J. Landman Gay]

For a mobile app, I am trying to get a card containing a browser widget 
to rotate and resize/reposition when the device is rotated. It seems I 
can't set the rect of the widget, it doesn't respond correctly or 
errors, though the orientation of its content does change. I've tried 
too many things to list them all but no success. OrientationChanged does 
trigger but resizeStack usually doesn't for some reason.

reposition or resize the widget.
