Hi all, For my app the landscape orientation is useless, so I set my activity's "Screen orientation" attribute to "portrait". Even when the screen orientation changes to landscape, whatever I draw is simply drawn flipped 90 degrees, which is what I want.
I also don't want my activity to get restarted when the screen orientation changes, so I set the "Config changes" attribute to "mcc|mnc|locale|touchscreen|keyboard|keyboardHidden|navigation|orientation|fontScale" and handle onConfigurationChanged myself. That's great too. Now, the thing is, that when onConfigurationChanged gets called, the orientation is always reported as portrait, while I really want to know that the user has changed it to landscape, so I can put a message saying something like "landscape orientation is not supported". Is there a way to do that? Is there a way in which I can query the device for it's physical orientation? On a side note, I read here[1] that I can set the orientation to "sensor", which will report screen orientation changes as the device's physical orientation changes. Does this really work on a real device (I still don't have one) or that's reserved for a future release? I'm asking because from what I read in some G1 reviews, the device's screen orientation changes to landscape only when the user slides the keyboard open. FWIW I'm using SDK 1.0 r1.
