Is there always a concept of portrait mode for devices? If so, can we get what the height of the device is in portrait mode? I'm using this: DisplayMetrics dm = new DisplayMetrics(); getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(dm); but width and height get swapped depending on orientation of the G1.

How can I get the height of the device for portrait mode? I have to create a bitmap (which is zoomable) and I just want to get a rough idea what the tallest height should be. getResources().getDisplayMetrics().heightPixels; does the above return the height, in portrait mode only? I'm not binding my UI to this absolute value, it's just a rough fit.
View 1 Replies View Relatedthere are those of us, who due to whatever reason (helmet cams, preference for posture, etc) want to record videos in portrait mode.
What happens (on my sgs2) is that the video records just fine in whatever resolution I pick... but it records it 90 degrees rotated to the right.
The solution that is usually offered is that "you can rotate it after!" yes... but then you have to CROP part of the image and lower the resolution. 1920 x 1080 recordings end up having to be cropped so that half of the view is cut out , or even more if you are maintaining a real aspect ratio.
The questions about "why not just hold it sideways", are just as pointless as the statement by steve jobs telling iphone4 users that they were holding their phones wrong.
is this something that can be remedied ? or has google decided that people should only record videos when their phones are in landscape mode?
i understand that we cant see landscape resolution in portrait mode; but can't we just have a viewport into the camera, but record in properly oriented landscape mode? so that playback on a computer will show the full resolution, even though we will only see part of it on the phone..

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen we try to implement orientation in AP layer, we can set "android:screenOrientation" parameter in AndroidManifest.xml file or call "setRequestOrientation()" method of Activity class. But if I want to porting android in new HW device, how can I do? Do I need to modify the graphic driver, or just add configuration in program. (Actually I do some experiments but my AP cannot rotate) Besides, can every experts tell me when I set the "android:screenOrientation" parameter, which process will read this configuration, pass to where and which process will do the rotation?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have written a small example which displays the photos from the server. Its working fine when the device is in one of the mode (landscape of potrait). But if I switch to landscape to potrait or potrait to landscape while downloading the photos from the server, I am getting NullPointerException, showing with androidRunTimeException.
I am using LinearLayout -> ImageView
I am using threads to download the images.
I made an app thats use the camera. The first problem i get was that i can't use portrait preview without the rotation 90º image. I used the solution (landscape for all), but now, only in the real device, when i start the app and i have the device in portrait mode it crashes (need to force close) and only after reboot the phone its possible to connect to camera, even in the camera app.

It isn't too bad while in portrait mode but when I'm in landscape my keyboard lags a LOT. I havent noticed it on any other sites. It is at its absolute worst when posting in landscape on this forum.
View 2 Replies View RelatedDo you use landscape or portrait mode? And which keyboard do you use to post, virtual or real, since the virtual one hides the screen for some reason? I posted this from my Droid, just to prove to myself that I could real keyboard, big hands no problemo. Few typos, but easily fixed. No worse than I do on a life-size keyboard at home.Droid looks to be about the size of a busines card next to my big thumb. I can still somehow peck the keys fairly quick.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having a lot of difficulty with my keyboard in both landscape and portrait. I am using the "Android Keyboard" that came with the phone. Examples of what I am referring to:
1. Wrong Key Showing: I type one letter and a different one is actually displayed.
2. Horrible Response: I get half way through an email and realize I need to fix an error in the middle of the paragraph. Trying to get the cursor where I want it a extremely hard to do and often it will move, but not where it is suppose to be moved to. Other times the cursor simply doesn't move at all and I have to erase all the back to where the error is and than retype. And no the cut and paste or copy and paste do not work since the cursor is not moving.
3. Random sentences just erase: I will be typing and hit the back key to erase a character, but instead it erases a line or two and won't stop.
Suggestions and no I am not going to root and void the warranty.
I am using Intents to switch between activities in my Android app. I am putting data in the Intent for use in the next activity. When I switch the phone between landscape and portrait modes, the values passed from the intent are lost and I get a NullPointerException.
Can someone please tell me what could be wrong.
There's a lot of code to post it entirely. But if someone needs to look at specific parts of code, I can post it here.
Edit
I solved the issue of state not being saved. But another problem I faced is that none of the buttons on the screen work after the orientation has been changed. On button press, I get this warning in LogCat

The only way to get it back was to hit the menu button. I rotated to landscape a few minutes later and now its stuck in that mode, and won't return to portrait at all. I tried removing the battery to no avail.
