Hi, You can change the current orientation of the window by using the WindowManager.LayoutParams class. This class provides the following flags:
int FLAG_ORIENTATION_DEFAULT<http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/view/WindowManager.LayoutParams.html#FLAG_ORIENTATION_DEFAULT> Window flag: Force the display to the user's current orientation setting, regardless of the windows behind it. 12288 0x00003000 int FLAG_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE<http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/view/WindowManager.LayoutParams.html#FLAG_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE> Window flag: The display must be in a landscape orientation when this window is at the top. 8192 0x00002000 int FLAG_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT<http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/view/WindowManager.LayoutParams.html#FLAG_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT> Window flag: The display must be in a portrait orientation when this window is at the top. 4096 0x00001000 Get your current Activity's Window object and set the flags above to change orientation of the window: getWindow().setFlags( WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_ORIENTATION_DEFAULT); or getWindow().setFlags( WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_ORIENTATION_DEFAULT); When you change the orientation, it is a configuration change which will cause your current activity to be *destroyed*, you may want to bypass restarting of your activity by setting android:configChanges<http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/R.attr.html#configChanges>attribute in its manifest as follows: <activity android:name=".OrientationTest" android:label="OrientationTest" android:configChanges="orientation"> <intent-filter> ... </intent-filter> </activity> More details on this are under the "Configuration Changes" section in the link below: http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/app/Activity.html Thanks, Megha On Fri, Mar 28, 2008 at 1:03 PM, CJ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, guys > I saw this statement in the forum which was posted in Jan08 > *quote: The current SDK doesn't have complete support for > orientations, and definitely not orientation switching while running. > * > First of all, is it still true? > Also, can anybody give a reference? > Thanks > CJ > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
