It seems that constants returned and expected are not the same between
ActivityInfo and Configuration.
Translating Configuration constants to ActivityInfo seems to solve the
problem:
int orientation = getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;
if (orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT)
initialOrientation = ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT;
else if (orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE)
initialOrientation = ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE;
Mark, do you think it's OK ?
Cheers.
