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'

So does anyone have a couple of cool sites or information on these animated backgrounds and such I hear so much about.

View 4 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.

I have found that since updating to 2.2, the screen will go into landscape if I go either direction! I really liked the old one way landscape, and I wonder if this was intended, or just the result of an unfished leak...

Is there a standard pattern for handling a running AsyncTask with screen rotation? My AsyncTask runs for about 10 seconds.

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
Ive seen a few roms with this, but is there a way to flash it to a rom that does not have it stock?
View 7 Replies View RelatedStep #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've just come across a topic on android-hilfe.de which shows an early build of galaxy rotating the screen all four ways:

View 3 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?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have come across some very unexpected (and incredibly frustrating) functionality while trying to restore the state of a list of CheckBoxes after a screen rotation. I figured I first would try to give a textual explanation without the code, in case someone is able to determine a solution without all the gory details. If anyone needs more details I can post the code.
I have a scrolling list of complex Views that contain CheckBoxes. I have been unsuccessful in restoring the state of these check boxes after a screen rotation. I have implemented onSaveInstanceState and have successfully transfered the list of selected check boxes to the onCreate method. This is handled by passing a long[] of database ids to the Bundle.
In onCreate() I check the Bundle for the array of ids. If the array is there I use it to determine which check boxes to check when the list is being built. I have created a number of test methods and have confirmed that the check boxes are being set correctly, based on the id array. As a last check I am checking the states of all check boxes at the very end of onCreate(). Everything looks good... unless I rotate the screen.
When I rotate the screen, one of two things happens: 1) If any number of the check boxes are selected, except for the last one, all check boxes are off after a rotation. 2) If the last check box is checked before rotation, then all check boxes are checked after rotation.
Like I said, I check the state of the boxes at the very end of my onCreate(). The thing is, the state of the boxes at the end of onCreate is correct based on what I selected before the rotation. However, the state of the boxes on the screen does not reflect this.
In addition, I have implemented each check box's setOnCheckChangedListener() and I have confirmed that my check boxes' state's are being altered after my onCreate method returns.
Why would the state of my check boxes change after my onCreate method returns?
I have been trying to degub this for a couple days now. After I found that my check boxes were apparently changing somewhere outside my own code I figured it was time to ask around.
