Is there an app that sets different orientation settings for each app. Like if i want my browser to switch to portrait it switches. But if I open xda it stays in landscape even if my settings is set to auto rotation. SGH-T989

I am looking for a app to manage screen orientation in any app? For example i want to have landscape for all app and only for Messaging and... portrait mode.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an Emgeton 7 inch tablet for which I'm trying out some different ICS ROMs on. The best ROM I have found so far has one issue: The screen orientation is 90 degrees out. The accelerometer actually works but it is set to 90 degrees "ahead"
How and where is the default settings for the accelerometer set and is it possible to change it without a re-compile? Would I be able to use anything from the stock ICS firmware to fix it?
is it possible to manually rotate the screen or fix the current screen orientation (with a key/button)? because it really annoys me having taken portrait pictures that cannot be viewed (with the media gallery application) in a portrait fashion on the milestone. this is because it always rotates the portrait picture back to landscape when rotating the milestone from landscape to portrait. right now there is no way of properly viewing portrait pictures on the milestone other than tilting your head (holding the milestone landscape and tilting your head along).this cannot be the way it was intended to be, right? or do I have to get a different viewing software which allows you to choose screen orientation? is there such an app?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have some code in place that checks for if the screen has been re orientated which works fine.But its what I do after that that seems to be a pain.if I put an if statment in that stops any methods that would normally be trigged on the oncreate method my screen is empty on rotation.if I try to just reinflate the view, that doesn't work because I havent saved the data that it displays to singleton.
It basically seems like I have to save my individual vars to a singleton then if the screen reorientates use them... But then that seems really crude and crappy stuff like if you scroll down the viewlist the position is refreshed to the top when you reorienate..What Im doing basically just doesnt seem right?
I would a Tab (in a TabHost) to have a Landscape orientation while the activity with the TabHost is in Portrait orientation, is that possible (if so how)? I tried setting the orientation of the Activity displayed in the tab in the Manifest but it didn't work.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if there was any java code that will allow you to make sure each window in your app stays in portrait despite the user flipping the phone to landscape. I already tried inserting android:screenOrientation="portrait" into both my android manifest and into every single XML file I had but unfortunately only some stayed in portrait and others still flipped to landscape.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI notice when using the emulator that when the screen is flipped, I get a following logcat message:
INFO/WindowManager(589): onOrientationChanged, rotation changed to 1
How can I catch this in the code? I want to know whenever the orientation changes. I assume I have to set a listener, but I can't find an example anywhere.
I am making an Android app which is currently coming along nicely - I've hit upon a couple of stumbling blocks.
1) How do I stop the screen from going dim/off and the phone locking while the application is running?
2) Can I force the phone to enter landscape mode on running my application?
Since downloading 2.2 my phone sometimes switches to landscape by itself. Especially with Handcent. I have to shake the phone a few times to get it to not be landscape.

To anyone who has the SF do your home screens switch from portrait to landscape automatically when you hold the phone sideways? Mine does in just about all other screens but not the home.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a series of live wallpapers out and one major sticking point I have with a certain set is that when devices switch to Landscape, the wallpaper, which in most cases is an image designed to fit the screen in portrait mode, appears off center. What is the conventional way to detect the shift from portrait to landscape?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn the following sequence of events:
1. Start a new thread (as a result of a button click - or similar).
2. User changes the screen orientation (causing the Activity that started the thread to be destroyed).
3. Thread finishes, and wants to do some dialog (or any UI) work. However, doing a showDialog, dismissDialog, ... will crash, as the thread it still referring to the old Activity.
This can be solved by updating the data in the thread to refer to the new Activity upon a screen orientation change.
However, couldn't the Android framework just forward any requests from a destroyed activity, to the newly created Activity, saving us developers of handling it ourselves?
I know on screen orientation changes activity restarted, but suppose i don't want to restart the activity then what should I do? I had tried it by adding in manifest.xml. android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"
and override public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) { super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig); }
But still activity restarted each time when I change screen orientation.
Please tell me how i can stop the change in orientation of application when device rotate. How i can control the accelerometer.

The Activitie's view consists of an ImageView, two Buttons and a Spinner. I don't have static variables and can't imagine where i could leak a context.
Most of the times, the exception is thrown at setContentView (R.layout.upload); sometimes it goes fine until imgUpload.setImageURI(imageURI);
The images i am displaying are form the G1's camera, so about 500kb and 2048x1536pixels

Is it normal to be very unresponsive to changing between landscape and portrait? Or do I have a defective phone?Also, what type of USB plug is that? I thought I read that it was a mini-b, but I ordered some from monoprice and they do not work.
View 18 Replies View RelatedI have created an activity for my game which handles all orientation changes by itself and has a fixed "portrait" layout. Actually it uses the accelerometer and is rendered using 2D canvas methods. If the level has been completed I show up a highscore dialog in which the user can enter his name. The dialog is floating above the underlying level screen which gets blurred out nicely. This generally works.
Problem is that the dialog does not get rotated if the orientation of the phone changes. So even if the keyboard is exposed the dialog is shown in portrait mode instead of landscape. I have tried to use an activity with dialog theme instead but the behavior didn't change. After several tries it seems that I have found the reason for this: Once there's an activity with fixed orientation in the activity stack then all subsequent activities keep this orientation, too. They will not react on orientation changes anymore (e.g. if the keyboard gets exposed).
After upgrading to 1.5 SDK the described behavior changed a little bit. Now at subactivities indead react on orientation changes like expected. However, the need to have an opaque background! That means that neither dialogs nor activities with dialog theme will work. Those will stick with the orientation of the underlaying activity. So my workaround is to first start a sub-activity with an opaque black background. This activity then shows my highscore dialog on top. It looks quite okay but I wonder if there's a better solution? Is it possible to show a dialog above a fixed portrait or landscape activity which automatically adapts to orientation changes?
I'm the proud owner of the HTC Magic on Vodafone UK. I'm loving the Android.I have to say that after 5 days of owning this device I'm only left scratching my head on one point the auto-orientation of the home screen.I've seen videos of rooted G1's running the hacked 1.5 firmware and the recently posted video of the Samsung i7500 with the 1.5 firmware all CLEARLY show that when the device is on home screen, the desktop (read home screen) auto-rotates depending on the orientation of the device. The Samsung video shows it working in ALL FOUR orientations!This doesn't happen on my Magic . Flip the orientation in an application? Works fine. Flip it back in an application? Works fine. Do it on the home screen?Am I missing something? Is this a feature that is disabled in the offical 1.5 Cupcake release? If that's the case - fine with me. I'll stop scratching my head and move on.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe currently use Activity.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_x) to set (and 'freeze') the orientation of our app. Froyo now supports two landscape modes tho and we'd like to allow our users to orient the app to 'landscape right' ... ie, the orientation obtained by turning a device naturally oriented to Portrait 90 degrees clock wise.

It seems like my droid will only go to horizontal orientation if I turn it counter-clockwise. When I turn it clockwise, the video plays in landscape by upside down.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to display an image from a URL, which may be larger than the screen dimensions. I have it kind of working, but I would like it to scale to fit the screen, and I also have problems when the screen orientation changes. The image is tiny, and I would like it to scale its width to the screen as well. (In both cases, I would like the image to fill the screen width with scrollbars (if necessary for height).

I have tried different settings for android:scaleType. I'm sorry if this question has been asked before. I've gone through a number of tutorials on the subject, but they don't seem to work for me. Not sure if it has anything to do with the way the image is loaded. (from the web instead of a local resource)
Another issue is that sometimes the image doesn't even load. There are no runtime errors, I just get nothing in the ImageView.
