screen-orientation

[update] As was recommended I changed all the parent view controllers to support all orientations. My app structure is as follows: AppDelegate > RootViewController > Videos > VideoDetails > MPMoviePlayerViewController. The video will play in landscape if I change all these to support all orientations. But supporting all orientations is not what I want and causes other issues. Is there any other work around or anything else I can do? Thanks [/update] I have an portrait based iPhone app that displays videos using a custom subclass of MPMoviePlayerViewController. When the user presses play I

I am writing mobile app with JQUery Mobile Beta 1 and was expecting that the screen should adjust automatically on iphone when rotated from portrait to landscape and vice versa but it is not happening. I simply checked with opening this link (Beta 1 doc demo) http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0b1/docs/pages/page-template.html but it is also not adjusting the screen. Am I missing something? EDIT: It seems to be same for Beta 2. I checked the demos & docs iPhone and it behaves similarly. I need to tap a screen to adjust it. Not doing automatically as in portrait orientation. Itizme In your

I want to conditionally alter what the user sees on the photo gallery web site I'm going to create based on if the device being used to view the site is in portrait/vertical vs. landscape/horizontal mode/orientation. Is this possible? Try the orientationchange event handler, something like this: $(window).bind("orientationchange", function(evt){ alert(evt.orientation); }); Here's the jQuery Mobile entry on detecting and firing the orientationchange event. If you are just changing the layout, consider CSS Media Queries instead. In Chrome 7 and Firefox 3.6, there is the deviceorientation event

In Android, when the screen orientation changes (between landscape and portrait) the onCreate method is called which ,if not handled properly, will recreate the entire activity when the result is too simply change the layout and retain all of the same information. I know of a few ways to solve this, but I'm interested in the most efficient way. 1) Telling the manifest that I will handle the orientation change by overriding the onConfigurationChanged() method and leaving it empty. 2) override onSaveInstanceState() and save the data here to be repopulated in onCreate() 3) Override onPause()

I have looked at questions related to my problem on SO but couldn't figure out what the problem is. Bear with me if this is a repost. Here is what i am looking for: The layout changes for phone are working fine as it involves the same views inside the fragment. The problem is when i try get the below layout in tablets. activity_main.xml in portrait mode: <android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/drawer_layout" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" > <LinearLayout android:layout_width=

I have a very simple code where I use Action Bar with tab fragments. It works fine after load, but after orientation change it goes crazy. The old fragment also visible (why?). Sorry for Hungarian texts on the image, but I hope it doesn't matter. I attach the code, maybe it helps to solve this problem. Main activity: public class Main extends Activity { private static ActionBar actionBar; @Override protected void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); // setup action bar for tabs actionBar = getActionBar(); actionBar.removeAllTabs(); if (actionBar

I have been working on a Android project, that is intended to be compatible with both the Android phones and tablets. On the tablet the app is working great and looks good too. However, on the phone we have been running into issues both programmatically and layout wise (working with a 10.1 inch screen is a lot easier than a 4 inch screen). To solve some of these problems we have decided to deactivate screen orientation but only for the phone version, atleast temporarily. The question is simple, how do I deactivate the screen orientation for Android phone, while keeping it active for the
