How can i get the rotation of the device in the four main orientations? and is there a corresponding event that i can capture?
also, is it possible to disable this rotation for my app?

I have a apk file, where i dont have the source for it.
When i run the apk, it automatically rotates the screen,
/WindowManager( 879): Setting rotation to 1, animFlags=0 I/WindowManager( 879): Config changed: { scale=1.0 imsi=0/0 locale=en_US touch=1 key=2/1/2 nav=3 orien=1 }
then after closing the application or coming out from the application,
I/WindowManager( 879): Setting rotation to 0, animFlags=0 I/WindowManager( 879): Config changed: { scale=1.0 imsi=0/0 locale=en_US touch=1 key=2/1/2 nav=3 orien=2 }
how to disable the rotation.
Ok... So, is there anyway to force rotation-lock to turn off on a Nexus 7 with Android 4.2.2?
Reason: I cracked my screen from the bottom left of the screen to just shy of the top right corner. The lower section, below the crack, is not responsive to touch... and the dots I need (I use the pattern pass) are on this side because I can't flip the tablet.
How This Happened: I turned on rotation lock with the tablet upside down to keep it there... But then my Nexus 7 decided to restart randomly and keep rotation-lock on but coming back in the default orientation, aka the wrong way that I need it to be.
it is possible to code an app so that it does not rotate if/when the user rotates their device. I have built an app that is designed for portrait view only. When it is flips to landscape, it gets distorted. I have apps on my android that do not rotate when I try to rotate my device.
I am using Eclipse to make my app. I'm hoping it is something that I need to add to the manifest.
Is there anyway to disable this in the messaging app because i like portrait for messaging since i have no lag there, but i do like to type in landscape on the browser. Am rooted running darchdroid 2.7 if it matters.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWas wondering if it were possible to have it set so that Swype would be the default keyboard for portrait & whenever you switched to landscape, the default Android keyboard would pop up as the default?
I did read this post here & was wondering if the info still stands. Figured I'd start a thread here since my question's not Incredible-specific.
Let's assume i got two activities "Main" and "Sub" Activity "Main" is forced into portrait orientation using setRequestedOrientation At some later point "Main" runs "Sub" using startActivityForResult.Somehow "Sub" also starts in portrait orientation while i would expect the call to setRequestedOrientation only to affect the calling activity.How do i get "Sub" to respect the system orientation while keeping "Main" locked in Portrait?

Problem switching to landscape orientation
Now I would like to know how I can save the state of my application before it goes into another orientation? I seem to lose this data any time orientation changes.
I've seen references to being able to specify two separate layout xml files for an activity, one for Portrait and one for Landscape. I've not been to find any information on how to do that though. How do I specify for each activity which xml file is it's portrait layout and which is the Landscape layout? Is it also possible to specify different layouts for different screen sizes? If so, how is this done?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am finding that my layouts tend to look great in one orientation but if I change the phone's orientation, things are a mess. For example on one screen I have 6 large buttons that look great in portrait orientation but if the user changes phone orientation, those buttons get cut off in portrait.
Do I need to code two layouts for every screen - one for portrait and one for landscape? That would be such a waste of time.
How does Android handle scaling of a video being played within a VideoView?
So for example if I have a video that is say 480 X 270 (width and height), aspect ratio 16:9. And, say the VideoView is added to a LinearLayout with LayoutParams of (480, 270). What will be width and height of the rendered video in portrait orientation in a device that is 320 X 480? In landscape? In another device that is 320 X 550?
From what I've tried, the EVO only has portrait and left-oriented (aka turn the phone on its left side) landscape viewing. Is there any way to enable right-oriented landscape viewing (aka turn the phone on it's right side)? It is very difficult to hold the phone in left-landscape when it's charging and nearly impossible to type with two hands.

I did not see anything in the api that would do so. I am guessing this is hardware specific if it is possible at all.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI would like to temporarily disable the Android device when the user performs 3 wrong logins in a row. The login is another issue I'm not interested in here. I'm interested in blocking the phone. I've been searching for some time now. I found some messages on disabling buttons, but they seem to be bad usability. On top of that, it might not be supported anymore in future APIs. So I kept looking and found:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.ht....
This seems to suggest something in the API that I can use, but can't find it. I'm interested in how to use this permission, and I'm also interested in what the consequences are. Does using some bricking method imply that the phone is permanently bricked, or is there still a way to restore the phone, so you don't have to throw it away?
I have a problem with rotation, during my ListActivity is loading data from the network. To do it I use a background thread which recovers data and put them inside an ArrayList. While this thread works, there is Progress dialog activated in foreground. For the rotation I use the method with onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() to save my ArrayList's state. After android calls this method, I call dismiss() on the progress dialog on onStop(). Then the activity is created as new with onCreate(), but it use the getLastNonConfigurationInstance() to recover the ArrayList's state. Now, my problem. If I rotate from portrait to lanscape when the download is terminated and I see the data in portrait yet, everything is ok. If I rotate during progress dialog is showing I have two cases: 1- onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() saves the arraylist fully recovered, the thread terminates and everything is ok. 2- onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() saves the arraylist empty, i think the download isn't finished yet. The onCreate is called and my list is empty, the thread terminates, but i don't see anything in my list. If I am in this case and I still rotate from landscape to portrait now I can see my list full with all the data. Why? Where am I wrong?

Is there a standard pattern for handling a running AsyncTask with screen rotation? My AsyncTask runs for about 10 seconds.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn my Android app I have 2 layouts, one for portrait and one for landscape.
In both layouts I have a TextView that the user can change by clicking on, by default it reads 'ON'
If the user presses it then it changes to 'OFF' All well and good.
However if it's set to OFF and the screen is rotated the text view resets to ON. How can I stop this from happening?
I need to calculate a rotation vector out of the data i get from Sensor.TYPE_ORIENTATION. The sensor data is defined like this: the values have to be recalculated to become a correct 3d position: values[0]: Azimuth, angle between the magnetic north direction and the Y axis, around the Z axis (0 to 359). 0=North, 90=East, 180=South, 270=West values[1]: Pitch, rotation around X axis (-180 to 180), with positive values when the z-axis moves toward the y-axis. values[2]: Roll, rotation around Y axis (-90 to 90), with positive values when the x-axis moves away from the z-axis need all three values like the Z axis value (from 0 to 360 degree). I tried a lot but cant figure out how to do this :/ So i bet there is a simple solution how to recall the values of sensor.TYPE_ORIENTATION to make them a 3d rotation vector, but i just dont know how to do it. If you know the answer please tell me. Code...

View 5 Replies View RelatedI spend two weeks now trying to get this working with no success. Here is what I want to do: I have several geo points around the user and his phone. I want to display this point overlaying them on the input from the camera (kind of standard AR (Augmented Reality) app). Part of my requirements are that the user can use the phone in either landscape or portrait mode.My plan was like this.
1. Register for Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER, Sensor.TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD 2. Pass the result to Sensor Manager.getRotationMatrix(), getting back the R matrix that should be telling me how to translate points from the Phone coordinate system (defined here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/SensorEvent.html) to World coordinate system (x -> East, y -> North, z -> Sky) 3. I want to translate points from World to Phone so I take the inverse of R (I'm using Matrix.invertM()) to get R_In 4. Using the GPS I translate the geo points I want to display on the camera to points in the World coordinate system and then I run them through the R_In matrix to get their coordinates in the Phone system. 5. Draw the points in the screen only if the have (phone coordinates) z < 0 and x and y such that they are visible. This is my grand plan... however I have problems quite early (2). I do get the R matrix back and it looks good when I align the phone to the world coordinate system ( I get the identity matrix ). However when I try to translate an imaginary point from the Phone coordinate system say (0, 1, 0) to the World coordinate system I don't get the numbers I expect.
My application while compiled in 1.5 works fine. I had some memory issues w/ 1.6 due to image size, which was strange b/c the image size increased when taking photos by taking a picture w/ surfaceholder/imagecapture callback. I seem to have fixed re-displaying those images by resizing them using a bitmapfactory matrix. But my camera is now rotating everything 90 degrees. It appears that my Override of surfaceChanged does nothing, which is where I was setting rotation at 90 (I can't remember why, it was 10 months ago!). I have tried at rotating the camera parameters paramters at 90 degrees, 0 degrees.

Step #2: Manually associate your activity with the task in its constructor
Step #3: Return the task object from onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() of your activity
Step #4: In onCreate() of your activity, check getLastNonConfigurationInstance(), and if it is not null, associate your new activity instance with the task via a setter
Step #5: Use the activity within onPostExecute()
does anybody knows how to launch a new activity with rotation animation.That I would like to know if there is a way to do the same but instead of image, i will be activity (whith new layout).
