Seems like I found a way, even though on Android 3.2 the behavior is not
exactly the same.
I changed the splash activity attributes
*ConfigurationChanges *= Android.Content.PM.ConfigChanges.*
Orientation* | Android.Content.PM.ConfigChanges.KeyboardHidden |
(Android.Content.PM.ConfigChanges)*0x0400*,
*ScreenOrientation *= Android.Content.PM.ScreenOrientation.*Behind*
The 0x400 defines as screenSize (
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.attr.html#configChanges).
I had to force the value because it is not present (still)
in Android.Content.PM.ConfigChanges enum.
and I overridden OnConfigurationChanged( Android.Content.Res.Configuration )
public override void *OnConfigurationChanged*(
Android.Content.Res.Configuration newConfig )
{
base.OnConfigurationChanged( newConfig );
*RequestedOrientation = *Android.Content.PM.ScreenOrientation.*
Behind;*
}
On android 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 nothing changed. Splash starts with current
orientation and does not change if I flip the device.
On android 3.2 splash starts with current orientation and changes when I
flip the device, though, the activity is not restarted. So, still fits the
requirement.
Cheers
