If, when your app is restarted due to these changes, it to breaks, then it will also break when the user moves to another app and then returns to yours and it needs to be restarted. There is simply no reason to do this kind of thing except to hide bugs in your app, which users will eventually encounter. As far as finding out if the user tried to put your app in an orientation it is not allowing... no, there is no way to do this, because you are forcing a particular orientation, so actually the orientation didn't change at all. And actually, I'd have to wonder, if you are forcing the orientation one way, does it really make sense to show a different UI if the orientation might have changed? I mean, if you are forcing portrait, and the user opens the G1 keyboard, and... well, the screen stays portrait. Your app still works. Why tell them they can't use it when they happen to have the keyboard open? Likewise if on some device the orientation is controlled by the accelerometer, why tell them they can't use your app if they happen to have the screen angled a certain way? -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support.
