General :: Screen Orientation Configuration?
Nov 8, 2012
I 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?

While working on orientation change I have found that the onConfigurationChanged is not getting called when changing the orientation from portrait to landscape.But when I am changing from landscape to portrait the method is getting called. Is it the correct behavior because the onConfigurationChanged should by called whenever we are changing the orientation. (android:configChanges="orientation")? I have also found one strange behavior or error, When we are changing from portrait to landscape orientation the string value is displayed correctly(automatically by android system) but when in am changing the orientation from landscape to portrait the same string is displayed(i.e the string in landscape mode).The expected behavior is the string id specified in the portrait mode should be displayed.Is it an platform bug or something wrong in my code/programming.

I'd like to report a bug we just found while writing a widget.
Summary: There is a widget installed, that defines a configuration activity. If the user changes the orientation while they are in the configuration activity, and they finish that activity in a different orientation that they started, the widget does NOT appear in the home screen after the configuration is done.
How to reproduce: have a minimal widget, with a configuration activity that contains a button, which correctly updates the App Widget when it is clicked (as explained in http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/appwidgets/index.html#Confi...). Add a new instance of the widget, so the config screen shows up. Change the orientation once. Click on the button. Your widget does not appear in the home screen. (Ouch.)
If this has already been reported, or if there's a better way to submit a bug report.

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

My widget launches a configuration screen when chosen to be put on screen. That works fine.
I wanted to be able to touch a part of the widget to return to that configuration screen.
I have created 2 pending intents in my widget's service but only one works. The code is below...
For the life of me i cannot understand how i can launch again the configuration activity.

I've downloaded Launcher Pro, I currently still have ADW installed as well. When I use LauncherPro my home screen (and other screens) are not set up the way I currently have them. I spent a lot of time setting my current screens so they are exactly the way I want them. Any way to save that config when switching to LauncherPro? It does seem faster so I want to give it a shot, but I'm dreadig setting everything up again- widgets, apps, etc.

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?

I 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.

I 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.

I 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.

I bought a generic tablet. A Boxchip A13@ 1.2Ghz, GPU Mali400,, 512Ram.. etc.
The thing is I flashed it with a compatible rom, but some configurations are wrong.I got wrong button mapping, and aI solved it, but Not the strangest thing happens... it seems the configuration of rotation is allways a step behind.
having 4 possible positons (Portrait, Upside down portrait, Landscape and Upside down landscape),When I put it n the poision of landscape, the screen rotates to upside down portrait. In upside down portrait to upside down landscape, in upside down landsacpe goes to portrait, and in portrait it goes to landscape. It's driving me nuts! haha I temporarily disabled rotation, but It's a nice thing to have enabled.. In conclusion, It seems the configuration somehow maps the position +90 degrees clockwise more than it should. Where is it maped?

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.

I 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?

In 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.

I get an OutOfMemoryError every time i change the screen orientation and I am having a hard time finding the mistake...
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
Here is some code:
