Is there a trick to use the gyroscope instead accelerometer to rotate the screen? Or, is there any "Hack" to improve rotating speed? iPad have a very nice rotation.
Btw, I have Galaxy S2.

I'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?
I tried to install ics on an Thinkpad x61 of my possession. Everything it's amazing, but one thing: screen auto rotation. is there ANY way to prevent ANY app to rotate the screen for whatever reason and fix it in landscape mode?

Is there a standard pattern for handling a running AsyncTask with screen rotation? My AsyncTask runs for about 10 seconds. I could call AsyncTask.cancel in the Activity's onDestroy method and restart the task in onCreate but that would waste cycles, bandwidth, and user time. I'm guessing there is a better way.
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 have been trying to keep the context menu when doing a long press / Click to stay on screen when the screen is rotated.Searching around the net, the main answers found are not the best such as add configChanges into the android manifest or use the onRetainNonConfigurationInstance which is depreciated .
Currently I am handling my dialog boxes when on screen and a rotation occurs via savedInstanceState by having my own method to show them again by using a variable to be saved into the bundle and then retrieved.
However the context menu is slightly harder to do as it is registered against the listview I have and this links it together so it knows which row has been selected
I do also have a onitemlongclick method which works along side the contextmenu so I should be able to get the row information from there but it is then how to call it all back afterwards
Step #1: Make it a static inner class
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()
I have an activity which I have defined to keep in portrait position.
However I would still like to change things (slightly) when the screen is rotated, what is the best way of doing this? I notice onConfigurationChanged is still called, but this still reports portrait mode.
I want to keep the notification bar etc in the same position if possible.
My Desire; which i have had problem free for 3 months; has just developed a problem with the screen rotation. Initially it wouldn't rotate so i checked that it was set to automatically rotate in the screen and display menu which it was .
I then tried to recalibrate the screen which kind of worked in that it now allows the screen to rotate to landscape if held sideways, but when i put it the right way up, the screen stays landscape.
I have Swype which i thought might be interfering so i removed the program and rebooted but still nothing.
I feel foolish as all get-out, but I have managed to put the screen on my Eris into an animated rotation mode. I.e. instead of snapping from horizontal to vertical, it rocks from side to side for a annoying period of time. I can't find the setting under 'display'

View 3 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 27 Replies View RelatedHow to save my instance state or how to deal with my activity getting destroyed during screen rotation.
There seem to be a lot of possibilities but I haven't figured out which one works best for retrieving results of an AsyncTask.
I have some AsyncTasks that are simply started again and call the isFinishing() method of the activity and if the activity is finishing they wont update anything.
The problem is that I have one Task that does a request to a web service that can fail or succeed and restarting the task would result in a financial loss for the user.
How would you solve this? What are the advantages or disadvantages of the possible solutions?
When I change the orientation of my screen in Android, an OnItemSelectedListener from a Spinner is called. It's not just the emulator, it also happens on a physical phone. How can I stop this from occurring?
