Maybe I have explained it badly, sorry but my english is not good, In the manifest I have already set the screenOrientation in the landscape mode, for the reasons I explained before about the camera preview. Now my problemi is: how can i visualize my overlayed views in portrait (based on the user's point of view) over the camera preview, which is in the landscape mode?
or better again... I would like "to rotate" the views on every side in according to the device orientation imposed by the user, but always maintaining the camera preview in the landscape mode in the manifest. Maybe I have to use the Animation to do that? I'm not able to explain it better.... :( On 24 Apr, 14:51, Chandler <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Paolo, > > try adding this to the manifest android:screenOrientation="portrait". > This is a setting for your whole app. > > <activity android:name=".SomeActivity" > android:label="@string/app_name" > android:screenOrientation="portrait"> > > Regards, Chandler > > On 23 apr., 22:05, Paolo <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > > > Hi Chandlar!I have the same code but i've used it to solve another > > problem, not the things i was talking about before.I used it to avoid > > some crashes of the camera when the app restarts after a standby, > > because sometimes the camera preview gets width and height inverted. > > I'm curious...
