View 1 RepliesI've been racking my brain (android newbie here, so not hard to do) for awhile trying to figure out how to accomplish this: Desired Layout using a Relative Layout or something other than AbsoluteLayout which is what this was created with. I'm coming from a Windows programming background where the device adjusts the 'absolute' positioning for you and GUI layout was a non-issue.The first layout works great in the emulator, but doesn't format for my Nexus One or any other screen that differs from the emulator size. I expected this because it's absolutely positioned, but haven't found a solution that will format correctly for different screen sizes. My goal is to have the layout work for different screen sizes and in portrait / landscape. Here's the Code that I'm currently using: [main.xml]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<AbsoluteLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
><Button
android:id="@+id/Button01"
android:layout_width="188px"
android:layout_height="100px"
android:text="A"
android:layout_y="50px" android:layout_x="65px" android:textSize="48sp"/>

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a Samsung Galaxy III and have problems trying to view images in my gallery using the auto-rotate screen option and rather then having to manuallly press the rotate screen "icon" which does gets annoying. I just want to tilt my phone so the images can automatically change to portrait or landscape on its own depending what angle the phone tilts. I've ensure the auto-rotate screen is checked from Settings under Display and even tried unchecking it and checking it again as well as switching my phone on/off.
NOTE: That the auto-rotate screen option does work fine for me with everything else like watching videos, texting, internet browsing, music and even viewing the overall images in the gallery but when going in and viewing the pictures individually from either the Gallery or the Camera. All I've got is a rotate screen "icon" to press on manually each time I'd like the picture to be portrait and if I want landscape I have to press on the screen rotate icon again. I noticed the auto-rotate screen option doesn't work on my Home Screen and Lock Screen as well but that isn't the main issue.
I've been reading around and tried pulling out my battery on "Odin" mode, wait 30sec-1min then turn my phone on again and that didn't work. I've also did the same procedure and ensure I unchecked the auto-rotate screen option and checked it again after I turned on the phone. I tried the Gyroscope Caliberation option and calibrated it and that didn't work either. My sister has the same phone as me with the same version installed but she doesn't have this problem and I'm wondering if it's something to do with how my phone software's set up?
Somedays back My phone just got stuck at the boot animation... So I restored it to its factory rom: upai_n9880I stock rom: 20120804_e1811_v75_jbaol1_g88. But when I went using the camera, the camera was inverted and if I turn in to lanscape, it would rotate but get inverted like in portrait mode. Now the games were also working flipped... The guy in Temple run now turns right if I tilt to the left and so forth.
So I tried flashing the phone with Taiwan upai N9880_ICS_V.01... but the issue remains. I tried reformat the flash and re-installed Taiwan Rom... the issue remians.
I have somehow stopped my desire auto rotating to landscape on all screens and I have no idea how to resolve this. I have changed the view on the browser to always be in landscape just to sort out the problem however none of the other apps such as email and photos will rotate... If anyone can tell me where the setting is to restore this i would be very grateful. I have tried google and the user guide but just cant find it.

View 3 Replies View Related 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.
Anyone run into an issue where auto-rotation stopped working?
I uninstalled 3 recently installed apps, but no dice.
Running ADW.Launcher, and it used to rotate fine until last night.
Uninstalled those 3 apps one at a time, with a reboot after each, and nothing.
Sure would hate to have to reinstall the phone from factory wipe...
I did go into ADW.Launcher and disable+enable auto-orientation. Also tried LauncherPro, same results: no rotation. Any apps out there to TEST the built-in sensors, like the orientation sensor?
Im just curious if anyone else has the same thing. when my droids all closed up and i rotate it to landscape with the keyboard closed and its on the homescreen .. it wont switch to landscape unless i open the keyboard OR i open an app. are they all like this?
View 7 Replies View RelatedJust got my hands on the SGS and I am really liking it... there is, however, one question... does anyone here experience issues with auto-rotation? For me - sometimes it works - sometimes it doesn't - and I find myself shaking the device to make it work (again - sometimes)... how does this sit with you? Does it ring a bell, or do I have a bad device?
View 6 Replies View RelatedJust curious about Android OS Auto-Rotation system, and how it matches up to competitors. Before anything I am NOT complaining, just a thought.
So everyone has seen how the Auto-Rotation is on iPhone, Palm Pre' and Android handsets, and I was curious... shouldnt Android phones be able to do this task just as smooth as iPhone and Palm Pre'? Bringing this to my thought was the app "Floating Image". The Auto-Rotation on the app is amazing, and that just shows me, and makes me wonder, why cant all the other apps have the AR as smooth as this? (Even the keyboard). The slow delaying fade away is kind of a drawback (to an extent) know that Im 100% Android is capable of doing over and beyond that.
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.
This morning I installed update 2.17.61.2 and since then I've noticed a fault with the auto-rotation feature. For things such as internet, SMS inbox, email inbox etc. the screen view is stuck on landscape and will not auto-rotate back to portrait when I tilt the phone
Also I tried playing Teeter and the ball doesn't move no matter how much I tilt the phone. I've tried resetting the G-Sensor Calibration but it doesn't resolve the fault.
I've had my Hero (G2 T-Mobile UK) for about ten days and feel I made a great choice. However, I noticed today that the auto rotation functionality has stopped. I've checked it is selected in settings and have callibrated too but it no longer works. Also, from the standard music player I cannot get back to the album cover-flo display, only list views and current track etc. The original view of the installed album art you can flick through has gone - or at least I can't find my way back to it. I updated to latest firmware before using the phone and can only think that one of the apps I've loaded has messed up these features? The apps I got were all recommended ones from another thread somewhere so shouldn't be buggy but I did grab about six, one after the other which maybe the problem? The day after installing them I switched the phone on next day and got some kind of reboot screen?? Maybe the phone needs a soft/hard reset but will this wipe it and how do I do it - or should I delete my apps? Hope someone can help cos I love the phone and don't really want to do without these features.
View 11 Replies View RelatedSince the 2.2 update my screen auto rotation is horrible. When I want it upright, it goes sideways. WHen I hold the phone sideways, it flips the other way. Apps that I open seem to always start out sideways even when the phone is upright. I turn it around, nothing happens. If it does rotate back, it is so delayed you think it is not working. It never seems to be the direction I want it, getting very frustrating and annoying to keep flipping the damn phone around all the time to try to get it right. I sure hope the new FRG22 update, if it ever comes, can fix this problem. So far, 2.2, besides flash, has been a big disappointment for me.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am working on a home screen widget. I hope this widget can support auto rotation. For example, if the phone is in portrait mode, I want this home screen widget to be 2 cell * 2 cell on the home screen; if the phone is in landscape mode, I want this home screen widget changes be 3 cell * 1 cell on the home screen.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an android application that I want to always be running in landscape mode.
I have the following code implemented to keep the app in landscape mode all the time:
inside my activity in the Application Manifest
android:screenOrientation="landscape"
This seems to launch and keep the application in landscape view for the whole duration of the application. Perfect!
However, if I have the app running on my HTC Aria (Android 2.1) and the phone locks, if I unlock the phone, I see the application for probably half a second and it's in portrait orientation and then quickly switches back to landscape mode. It is quite frustrating because all of my views are jumbled around and it looks unprofessional as you can imagine. This happens in both the emulator and on my real phone.
Does anyone know how to stop the application from temporarily rotating when the phone is unlocked?
I have tried overriding onConfigurationChanged() but with no success.
I have also tried putting setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE); into the onResume() but the app still shows as the incorrect orientation for a split second when the phone is unlocked.
I'm finally getting around to fully customizing my phone.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI apologize if these topics were already covered in previous threads.I wasn't able to find anything related in my searches. Auto-rotation for keyboard when answering a text message received in sleep mode does not work. If I actively send a text when phone is already awake, keyboard rotates with no problem but when I go to reply to a text that I received while phone is in sleep mode, the keyboard does not rotate. Is this the norm?I am also experiencing a delay when the I wake the phone. After unlocking the phone, I used to go straight to my home page, now I get a "loading" message which takes several seconds. Is this due to the number of apps I have loaded? Is it possibly due to number of photo frames I have on my home screen or the complexity of the wallpaper?

View 1 Replies View RelatedBasically I trying to setup a homescreen in which part of it can scroll vertically, but another part doesn't move. I currently have Lightning Launcher, which is great by the way, but I can only set it up so that the entire screen scrolls. I was thinking it would be nice for have a spot on the left side of the screen for favorite apps and maybe some widgets (I guess you could call it a "dock"), and on the right side of the screen have a scrolling list of the rest of my applications. Probably with 1/3 of the screen being the left portion and 2/3 being the right portion. Can this be done with Lightning Launcher? or any other launcher? and how?
