Hi everyone,
I’m struggling with layout sizing across different Android and iOS devices. The standard Thunkable approaches don’t seem to work reliably in production:
- **Fill/Stretch** — doesn’t work on the outermost layout container
- **Computed Height** — returns 0 in production, only works in live testing
- **Static values** — work on one device but break on others
How do you handle this? Is there a reliable approach that works consistently across different screen sizes and both iOS and Android?
Thanks

I would recommend using the [layout component](https://docs.thunkable.com/app-design/ui-components/basic-components/layout)

> The Solution After a lot of testing across different Android devices, I have landed on a solution that actually works. This is a small, lightweight set of blocks that automatically calibrates your layout height so it fits the screen perfectly on any device. It runs once per device, stores the correct layout height locally, and from that point on every screen in your project just uses that stored value. No guessing, no formulas, no device checks. You can see the blocks I am using for: the f…
Use with ‘if platform is Android’ block as Ios devices seem to be ok.

Thanks for sharing your experience. You’ve identified the core issue — Computed Height/Width are unreliable, especially on iOS when navigating between screens.
We ended up using Thunkable’s native Resize - Stretch mode without additional calculations. It’s not perfect (especially on Android with the notch area), but it’s stable and doesn’t cause major layout issues across all devices. Accepted margins on the sides are better than chasing unreliable Computed values.
