HTC Incredible :: Browser And Keyboard Not Switching To Landscape Mode
May 25, 2010
Had the phone about 30 hours or so, been happily learning the ins and outs of my first android. Was streaming Pandora for a couple hours while working, then went to type a text and the full size landscape qwerty wouldn't come up only that aweful portrait mode cramped keyboard that makes me feel like I am typing on a blackberry now the browser won't switch to landscape either which is 'incredibly' annoying. Teeter seems to work fine, on level 19 and also "Bubble" an app for Leveling which switches to landscape in either direction.

I just bought my android incredible today and I'm absolutely addicted to it. However, I ran into a problem today with my phone that makes me wonder if it's something minor that I can fix on my own or if it has to be taken in. You know when you tilt your phone longways the display changes as well so you have a bigger keyboard? Well, mine's not doing it now and I'm wondering what the problem is.

My application crashes when I switch the Android Emulator to landscape mode. But when I start the application, everything works fine, until I switch to portrait mode again.
The error only occurs when I switch from one mode to another. When I debug my app while switching to the other mode everything works fine until my program counter jumps out of the onCreate() function.
this is an error message i picked out: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo {com.prog.drink/com.prog.drink.App}: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Wrong state class -- expecting View State
Any idea what I could have done wrong in my app?

This is probably a pretty easy to answer question, but I can't find the solution myself after a couple hours of searching the documentation and Google.I set the orientation of my Android app to landscape in the AndroidManifest.xml file: android:screenOrientation="landscape"
However, when I run the app in the simulator, it appears sideways and in portrait mode. How can I switch the emulator to landscape mode on a mac? It's running the 1.6 SDK.

I'm not sure if it's normal, but for the built-in messaging app, it takes literally about 9-12 seconds to switch to landscape keyboard when tilted.
Similarly, with eBuddy, the messaging app, it tends to take 5-7 seconds. Is it just me or is that really slow? I don't expect it to be instantaneous, but taking more than 3 seconds or so seems a bit much. Anyone else having issues?

I have written a small example which displays the photos from the server. Its working fine when the device is in one of the mode (landscape of potrait). But if I switch to landscape to potrait or potrait to landscape while downloading the photos from the server, I am getting NullPointerException, showing with androidRunTimeException.
I am using LinearLayout -> ImageView
I am using threads to download the images.

I am using Intents to switch between activities in my Android app. I am putting data in the Intent for use in the next activity. When I switch the phone between landscape and portrait modes, the values passed from the intent are lost and I get a NullPointerException.
Can someone please tell me what could be wrong.
There's a lot of code to post it entirely. But if someone needs to look at specific parts of code, I can post it here.
Edit
I solved the issue of state not being saved. But another problem I faced is that none of the buttons on the screen work after the orientation has been changed. On button press, I get this warning in LogCat

Just tested the cupcake keyboard on the Magic @ the store but I couldn't get it into landscape mode. Can someone tell me how to do this please? Then I might give it another shot.

I have found that on lots of occasions the app or browser I am using switched to "landscape" mode without me meaning to do so. Is this because my phone isn't calibrated right? And when it does, it often doesn't switch back to the portrait mode even if I shake it upright - I have to exit the app/browser back to Home screen (which is always portrait) and then re-enter the app/browser and it shows up the correct way.

I can not get the Browser to switch out of landscape to portrait no matter which ways I turn and rotate the device.
Anyone else have a similar problem?

I got my Droid 2 (or as it is called in Germany Milestone 2) just this week. I got two minor things that are bugging me. (see the other one here Is it possible to reconfigure the keyboard?) Otherwise I'm loving my new phone. I got the auto-adjust option for the Display turned on but for some reason the screen won't switch to the landscape mode as long as I don't pull out the physical keyboard. That is only the case for the homescreens and the main app menu. Otherwise it works fine. For example, if I open the settings I get to look at them in landscape mode with the keyboard in our out.

So the "minimize keyboard" button in the lower left of the landscape qwerty keyboard works maybe every 5th time. I only started noticing this after the 2.1 OTA. However my wife has the 2.1 on her Eris as well and hers works perfectly. If I make sure to push the very top edge of the button, it works fine, but just pressing it normally in the middle rarely works. Perhaps there is something wrong with that corner if the screen.

I cant get the browser to automatically change orientation as I change my phone's orientation. The only time it goes into landscape mode is if I pull out the physical keyboard. Note that I don't want to select The option to always force landscape mode.

When opening the physical keyboard, the phone first comes out of sleep, and then switches from portrait to landscape. This is typically not too noticeable, but sometimes it takes up to 5 seconds. Is there a way to make it so that opening the keyboard just resumes this phone already in landscape? Also, has anyone figured out a way to get the home screen to respect switching to landscape when rotated, like all well-developed apps do?

I would've been happy as a passive forum user and keeping up with other's posts but my Hero has recently developed a problem, prompting me to sign up and get some advice from you guys who have more experience.
Basically in the last couple of days my soft keyboard has randomly decided to change how it displays and works! 3 main problems:
- sometimes soft keyboard does not go into landscape mode when phone is orientated (seen suggestions on here of calibrating keyboard and installing bubble and running the bubble clibration: tried both of these but has not solved problem).
- when phone does decide to let me in landscape mode no text is displayed as you type....only when you switch back to portrait do you see what you have typed
- when in text message mode the predictive text box has moved and is now being overlayed on the text message body, so basically i cannot see what i am typing! (the predictive text box used to be displayed above the text message body). This problem is the most annoying out of the two!

When typing a text message in landscape mode, is there any way to send the text by hitting the enter button? I know on the Moment I was able to hit the enter button and it sent the text. With the Hero I have to hit the actual keyboard button to get back to the thread and hit send...

I've been experimenting with the IMM and it's mostly straightforward, but for some reason, my custom view that launches the soft keyboard works only in portrait mode. Launching it is easy enough:
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.toggleSoftInputFromWindow(getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT, 0);
I've seen a couple notes about the soft keyboard only working in portrait but I assume this was a limitation in a previous version, since all the Android EditText views work fine in both portrait and landscape. Is there some additional piece of work needed to enable landscape?

Home screen used to do landscape immediate and always. Now it doesn't do landscape at all unless I slide the keyboard out and it pops into landscape immediately. Then when I close the keyboard it goes back to portrait even when I'm holding the phone in landscape. Not sure how to fix this, help please.

I am having a lot of difficulty with my keyboard in both landscape and portrait. I am using the "Android Keyboard" that came with the phone. Examples of what I am referring to:
1. Wrong Key Showing: I type one letter and a different one is actually displayed.
2. Horrible Response: I get half way through an email and realize I need to fix an error in the middle of the paragraph. Trying to get the cursor where I want it a extremely hard to do and often it will move, but not where it is suppose to be moved to. Other times the cursor simply doesn't move at all and I have to erase all the back to where the error is and than retype. And no the cut and paste or copy and paste do not work since the cursor is not moving.
3. Random sentences just erase: I will be typing and hit the back key to erase a character, but instead it erases a line or two and won't stop.
Suggestions and no I am not going to root and void the warranty.

The default Messaging app in Android (tested against version 2.1) appears to put the soft keyboard in a special mode, where the return key is replaced with an "emoticon key". When you press it you get a selection of emoticons to insert into your message.How do I instruct the soft keyboard to appear in this mode in my app?

I'm pretty sure my home screen would do landscape with keyboard closed the first couple of days I had the phone and now it wont do it unless the keyboard is out. Anyone else have the same issue?

I searched on 'landscape' and couldn't find what I needed.
Can the DI go into landscape mode with the buttons on the left? I'm left handed and would much prefer this arrangement. With my BB I was always able to flip it into landscape mode on either side.

Does anyone know if there will be a landscape keyboard on the HTC Incredible?
I haven't heard anything about it.. I think it would be a real bummer if there wasn't.
