Re: Getting Orientation Enforced on Phone

Eureka! Montes been busy, but keeping quiet

https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=19465

BR: just completed test.

I tried "go letting"  to stack

   mobileSetAllowedOrientations "portrait,portrait upside down,landscape 
left,landscape right"
just before closing in and opening the next stack.  

No go an Android.

Re: Getting Orientation Enforced on Phone

BR: just completed test.

I tried "go letting"  to stack

   mobileSetAllowedOrientations "portrait,portrait upside down,landscape 
left,landscape right"
 
just before closing in and opening the next stack.  

No go an Android.

Next I wondered by the portrait turn up portrait in iOS?  Well I look like it 
did in openStack

on preOpenStack
   wait 100 milliseconds with messages
end preOpenStack
on openStack
   set the fullscreenmode of this stack to "showAll" -- better for wider screens
   mobile_SetAllowedOrientation "portrait"
   set the acceleratedRendering of this stack to true
end openStack

---

So I went to landscape then, which had it preopenstack handler, and I change it 
to openstack handler

results

iOS : It complied, go orientation landscape back to portrait BUT
complete, going to portrait to land scape. The was enforced (to landscape)
but location the background image was off !
and I have set in to image

   set the loc of img "bgImage" to the loc of this cd

Android: Did not compiled until we manually rotated and the bkground image was 
off is the name offsets and iOS.

GIT stash!  back to where I was before.

   9.0.1  

I can live with that.. hopefully sooner than later. If you don’t there soon 
I will be forced to a horrible notice 

"Please turn phone"  and end of change of stacks.

Monte:  "there is a God in LC Universe!"

 9.0.1  

I can live with that.. hopefully sooner than later. If you don’t there soon I 
will be forced to a horrible notice 

"Please turn phone"  and end of change of stacks.

Like Ralph said "using wait is madness"

(but using wait is for a different purpose. On android, acceleratedRendering, 
when you turn it in off in one stack and go another stack, you have to give the 
phone time (does not happen on iOS)  otherwise "all hell breaks loose" (snap 
shot of previous screen shot, different part of screen show different parts of 
two stack, where on earth are pixel are coming from the stack who is closed and 
the acceleratedRendering is false  -- is "magical"  … only by introducing wait 
fill work.)

I have had a brief look at this worked out what needs to be done. Hopefully 
we can do this next sprint for 9.0.1.

>2) Add new==> mobileSetOrientation (pOrientation,
>pRespectDeviceOrientationLock {true|false})

I guess rather than this we could fix #1 and ensure that all platforms 
respect the system orientation lock unless it is not in the allowed 
orientations given if you are forcing an orientation you would need to fiddle 
with allowed orientations anyway.

  Cheers Monte

==
Yes, agreed. I can’t  think of another use case. 

•   portrait
•   portrait upside down 
•   landscape left 
•   landscape right

Or 

portrait, portrait update down
landscape right, landscape life

should lock it in not matter how the phone is physically oriented 

and if some developer wants to play with geometry, they can "fiddle" all they 
want with:

mobileSetOrientation portrait, portrait upside down, landscape left, landscape 
right

NOW than said 

go  cardOrStackObject  # a landscape stack
wait 100 milliseconds with messages

close stack oStackName # portrait stack
wait 100 milliseconds with messages

I think will cause problems, unless the user turns off mobile orientation 
temporarily (HA! maybe I will try it)

So… if you can get this work

go "card 5 of  stack NewStackB" in window "OldStackA"

  -- with the orientation lock enforced, that will be ideal. 

also secondarily 

I would make a global preference 

"acceleratedRendering is to false on closing off stack"

so that we don't have keep fiddling with it all the time.
It clear that it needs to turned off.

 The new stack… whether you it on or not, is up to you.

Re: Getting Orientation Enforced on Phone

[Brian Milby via use-livecode]

In my MobileProfile demo app it seems to respect the lock properly on
iPhone (can only user lock to portrait). Sounds like something that would
be good to do additional testing on. Is there any way to test pre-release
engine changes on iOS?

RE: Getting Orientation Enforced on Phone

[Ralph DiMola via use-livecode]

BR,

I've tried everything. It's gets even more bizarre. The last time I tested
this is what I got:

iOS: LC respects the device's orientation lock.
Android: LC does NOT respect the device's orientation lock.
iOS: If the LC app is in portrait, iPhone/iPod will change orientation
without rotating the physical device if mobileSetAllowedOrientations set to
only landscape(like Netflix) and lock it there. On iPad LC will not force
the rotation and will not lock it if you rotates the device.
Android: LC will not force the rotation but will lock it if you rotate the
device.

To fix this right we need:
1) mobileSetAllowedOrientations should be just that. This should be a end
user rotation permissions.
2) Add new==> mobileSetOrientation (pOrientation,
pRespectDeviceOrientationLock {true|false})

That's it. Until LC does this, we'll have a mishmash of behaviors and wrong
card rendering. Playing with all sorts of waits is just madness.

# using this method to change stack

go  cardOrStackObject  # e.g   go "gems" (or this string)  go card 3 of
"gems"
 wait 100 milliseconds with messages
 close stack oStackName
 wait 100 milliseconds with messages

# don't try to go in same window method

( we used "set the fullscreenmode of this stack to "showAll"  in all stacks)

Now, we can get orientation "enforced" on iOS going one way -- portrait to
landscape --

but not coming back for  -- landscape to portrait --

Users sees the bottom on the portrait, until right they phone upright)

Android is worse, the landscape stack is rendering horizontally on a
portrait screen until they rotate the phone.
and vice versa

I really need to phone to "enforce" , regardless of phone is held.

You can't have a game/map (landscape) open "miniaturized" by portrait

  mobileSetAllowedOrientations  "landscape left,landscape right"
OR
  mobileSetAllowedOrientations  "landscape left,landscape right"

the dictionary says

"the setting take affect the next time an orientation change is applied"

But it is enforced to iOS going for portrait to landscape. Why not to other
way?
And either way on Android

Has anyone solved this problem.
