I brought a new Karbonn A7 mobile and messaging alone is not rotaing to landscape mode but the message setting is rotating. Is there any way to make the message auto-rotating while composing or viewing of message. I check auto-rotate is on and all other apps it is auto-rotating.

Ever since the upgrade to Jellybean 4.3 (I've got a Samsung Galaxy S3), my messaging app doesn't auto-open to the last sender when I swipe it from the lock screen. Instead, it goes to the previous sender, which can be annoying if you're not paying attention and you reply to that sender instead of the one with the new message.
How do I change that back to the way it was?
I'm looking for a clock widget that looks good in both portrait and landscape modes. I'm tired of clock widgets that look like crap when the launcher is in landscape mode (or, if they look good in landscape, they look like crap in portrait), like HD Widgets or Beautiful Widgets.
I've only found one widget that changes its layout completely (read: not just stretches in one dimension and contracts in the other) to adjust itself to its new allocated area: Accuweather. See the attached images for what I mean. Notice the layout is completely different, and nothing overlaps/looks stretched/tiny. Both modes look great.
Now, my problem with Accuweather is that I'm looking for something darker, that looks better with the wallpaper. Do you know of some widget that does the same as Accuweather (different layouts for portrait/landscape) and allows customization?
I'm trying to limit my mobile data usage with out jumping through hoops.
I'm looking for a widget, that with one click of a button, it can restrict background data, disable auto-sync and enable mobile data, and when pressed again, enable WiFi, disable background restriction and enable auto-sync.
This function, no matter how trivial, would save time and effort.
Is there anything like this out there? Would something like this require root?

Whats the scoop behind which one is really better? The stock messaging app or aftermarket apps (handcent and chomp). I use Handcent, and lately I have been finding it to be quite laggy and slow, even with cache cleared and all threads deleted. Is the only difference between stock and aftermarket, the fact that you can customize? I would much rather have a plain looking stock app that performs well, then a customizable aftermarket app that is slow. I am just looking for some opinions.

I don't know what could have caused this, as I have been using it normal ever since I got it and not messed with anything. Running stock froyo, does anyone know of this and if there is a way to fix? I already tried disabling and enabling autorotate from the settings off and on a couple of times and nothing.

http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa...
this works fine for the animation, but it does not handle the key press events itself.my requirement is simple, I need to show a text on a button upside down. Somewhat as if the parent view is drawn landscape and button is portrait.
If I rotate a photo and transfer it to computer or email or anything the rotation does not stick, only in the image gallery.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to find a way to rotate a View, or (more conveniently) an entire layout, upside down and have it stay that way. I found the rotation and animation classes in the SDK, and these come close to what I want, but at the end of the animation I want my Layout to stay rotated; repeating the animation or just flipping back right- side-up doesn't help me with my app unfortunately.The only thing I can think of so far would be to find the source code for the rotate class, and override it such that the "...and then flip it back around to be right-side-up" code never happens. I'm not sure exactly where I'd find the original rotate code for reference if I were to do something that extensive however.I've found references online to the full android source - is that basically what I'd be looking at downloading to be able to attempt something like this? Am I missing a simple option on the rotation that would let it just stay put after I rotate it? Any help would be very much appreciated!

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to draw some large circles on the canvas which are partly offscreen, then use animation to rotate them in be fully visible. My circles successfully rotate in, but when they come into view they're clipped at the place that was the screen edge when they were originally drawn. Is there any way to prevent this? I guess my larger question is how can you draw elements beyond the edges of the screen and then animate them into view?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using the 1.5 SDK. I read in 1.0 that rotating the device would cause onCreate() to be called in our apps (possibly recreating the entire app?). Is there a way to test rotating the device in the emulator? I just want to see what happens, I don't have a device to test this. Will the behavior be the same for 1.5 as it was in 1.0?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow to restore the dialog etc after rotating the screen? For example, pop up an alertDialog to tell user some information. then the user rotate the screen to another orientation. How to restore the alertDialog? Can any one guide me to do it?
In restoreManagedDialogs, it has something to do with mManagedDialogs.As you can see, for advanced feature, you must do the saving and restoring job by yourself. It may be a night mare when you have tons customized dialogs. I have not tried the complex dialog (has input EdiText, listView, say). In this way, I'd like to warn users: Never rotate the screen when inputing your info in the dialog... OR, lock the rotation dynamically when showing the dialog.
Maybe I'm a bit OCD but when I choose a nice wallpaper with a design in the middle, I hate how it flips when the screen does, and when it rotates back its off center.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy first activity is creating a second activity within its onCreate:
CODE:............
The second activity has EditText views for the username and password along with submit and cancel buttons. When either button is pushed, the text from username and password is sent back to activity one (via onActivityResult), which connects to a server to see if the username is available. While connecting to the server showDialog is used to show a ProgressDialog. When the server responds, the ProgressDialog is dismissed and an AlertDialog is shown. This works fine as long as the device is not rotated.
Here's the problem: if the user rotates the device from within the second activity and pushes submit, the first activity re-invokes its onCreate, which ends up launching the second activity again since the username and password are still null.
Does anyone have any suggestions to get around this?
Is there a method that could be used to pass data from activity-2 to activity-1's onCreate? I wouldn't want to use a database in this case, as that seems like overkill.
I've thought about containing the server communication and dialogs to activity 2, but then I'd have duplicate server code in activity 1 and activity 2 (activity 1 connects to the server for other things too). Another issue I'd have with this approach is that the user has an option to cancel creating the password, in which case I want the app to finish. If I called finish from activity 2, activity 1 would appear and I don't want that to show unless a username and password have been created.
It just occurred to me - if I could replace activity 2 with a dialog it might make things simpler. The dialog view needs to have 2 EditTexts and 2 buttons. Can I create something like this and use the showDialog method?
When I'm using the internet browser it won't rotate into portrait mode, only works in landscape. Is there a setting somewhere to change that or does the internet only work in landscape? I realize this is probably a really simple answer, but I've spent way to long going through every menu setting I can find to try and figure it out.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a pretty simple view hierarchy, including an ImageView in a FrameLayout with a source drawable that is bigger than the window size.Using scaleType=center the image is cropped and centered, as expected, when laid out.In response to user interaction we need to rotate the ImageView.I am using a rotate animation XML definition and View.startAnimation.This works with one remaining problem: the cropped part of the image remains cropped when rotated,so when the image is rotated by 90 degrees in portrait orientation the image is clearly cropped on the top and bottom. Essentially it looks like a rectangle the size of the view window is being rotated,rather than the oversize image in its entirety (note it is intentionally oversize in the hope of avoiding this cropping problem).We want the image to fill the screen regardless of the angle of rotation.What am I missing?
