in the example app (below) the screen shows in portrait ok. Then when
you rotate the phone you see the same screen, but only 1/2 of it. The
other half is cut off ... but the can not scroll it up to see or use it.
can this be fixed?
Why should it scroll? You need to put the layout in a ScrollView if you want it to be scrollable.
You should start with planning how the layout should change in landscape mode.
The next step is to use anchors, designer script and maybe a landscape variant to implement the plan.
what i did on another page(a web page) was to make the background much larger in both directions,
then when it shifted to landscape you could scroll it as needed. So i thought there must be some
organized way to do this, with out trail and error method.
