How to detect if device Auto Orientation Mode is activated ?

Hi,
On an android device I´m using this script that allows "rotating" the stack without any user action.
Code: Select all
on preOpenStack
-- Condition to check whether the environment is mobile
if the environment is "mobile" then
--Portrait , Portrait Upside Down , Landscape Left, Landscape Right are the 4 Parameters to be passed in the function iphoneSetAllowedOrientations
put "portrait,portrait upside down,landscape left,landscape right" into theallowed
-- Function Call
mobileSetAllowedOrientations theallowed
end if
end preOpenStack
But, since user might want to keep it in Landscape mode - all the time - I does one detect the device mode settings

So far, I can get the Orientation mode of the stack "Landscape Left" or "Portrait".
but I cant find any command to get access to the Gyroscope Device Environment set by the user.
Is that possible with LC 8. ? or next versions...?

On Android :
it seems that the mobileOrientationLocked does not return the Head Bar Lock state of the device...
but a lock state one chose to define for its stack, or is my stack test failing somewhere ?
Does LC provides a way to get the Lock state AND lock orientation from the Menu bar ?

I don't think you can get the user lock state. This came up on the mailing list and there was no solution right now.

http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode/ It's where a lot of the old-timers hang out. The mailing list predates the forums by many years.
