Orientation issues

[MaxV]

Hi,
I have some question about orientation:

• In standalone application setting I put "portait" as initial orientation, but I also allow all orientations (using mobileSetAllowedOrientations). However the orientation changes correctly only when I rotate the device, but if I open the app landscape it remains "portrait", it doesn't rotate until I start to shake the device . How can I open the app with the right orientation? Which message do I need to send?
• Orientation sensor sensitivity is to high, if I incline a little back my device, orientation starts to flick. Is there a way to set a lower sensitivity?

send a 'resizeStack' message in the openStack handler, assuming that you are using that in conjunction with the orientationChanged message..

besides 'portrait', 'portrait upside down', 'landscape left' and 'landscape right'... you can also handle 'unknown', 'face up' and 'face down' orientation messages. I have used the 'face up' and 'face down' orientations before when experiencing the problems you are seeing.

You solved my second question, I used orientationChanged but for screen orientation is better resizeStack, since orientationChanged uses all three axis (x,y, z), and it is a mess.

About my first question, what code should I write?

I wrote

Code: Select all

on OpenStack
   send resizestack to me
end OpenStack

without any result.

something like...

Code: Select all

on orientationChanged
   resizeStack
end orientationChanged

on resizeStack
   /* update the screen to suit the change in orientation between 'portrait' & landscape' */
   if environment() = "mobile" then
      if "portrait" is among the words of  mobileDeviceOrientation() then 
         -- do whatever
      end if
      if "landscape" is among the words of  mobileDeviceOrientation() then 
         -- do whatever
      end if
   end if
end resizeStack

EDIT : if you want to send the resizestack then just issue the command 'resizeStack'.

I still can't obtain the correct orientation on opening the app:

• place may phone landscape
• open the app on my phone
• I get:

It' perfectly resized, but it still continue to mantain the "initial orentation setting" untill I rotate the mobile phone.
