screen-orientation

I want to get the phone orientation but keep the screen orientation to portrait. So no matter the user turns the phone to landscape or portrait, the view stays the same, but I can get whether it is turned to landscape or portrait. Setting the activity to android:screenOrientation="portrait" will fix both but I wouldn't be able to detect the phone orientation via public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) { switch (newConfig.orientation) { case Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT: Toast.makeText(this, "Portrait", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); break; case Configuration.ORIENTATION

If you scroll down a bit at this Apple Developer Page you'll find the section "Creating an Alternate Landscape Interface". The basic approach described there is to present a different NIB file as a modal view when orientation changes. I am using the Storyboard feature, so I don't have NIBs. How do I load a different "scene" in that case? Besides that, I am using a Tab Bar controller, I don't want to show a modal view. I just want to replace the current portrait view with a landscape view designed with interface builder and keep my tab bar. What would be the Storyboard way to achieve the task

This is more of a general question for people to provide me guidance on, basically Im learning iPad/iPhone development and have finally come across the multi-orientation support question. I have looked up a fair amount of doco, and my book "Beginning iPhone 3 Development" has a nice chapter on it. But my question is this, if I was to programatically change my controls (or even use different views for each orientation) how on earth to people maintain their code base? I can just imagine so many issues with spaghetti code/thousands of "if" checks all over the place, that it would drive me nuts to

I want my android application to be only run in portrait mode? How can I do that? In the manifest, set this for all your activities: <activity android:name=".YourActivity" android:configChanges="orientation" android:screenOrientation="portrait"/> Let me explain: With android:configChanges="orientation" you tell Android that you will be responsible of the changes of orientation. android:screenOrientation="portrait" you set the default orientation mode. In Android Manifest File, put attribute for your <activity> that android:screenOrientation="portrait" Android Code Solution There are two ways,

I am trying to make a landscape only app , but I am not able to produce any rotation at all. There used to be a autorotate setting in PhoneGap.plist but in phonegap 1.8.0 I can find it. Does it still exists? What else could be wrong that my application is not rotating? UPDATE I know have webpage containing only one word "test". I set target device to iPad only and enabled all four orientations. What could still be wrong? Do need to have a special html document type? Do I need to include some cordova-1.8.0.js? I could not find one for iOS (!?!) so i tested it with the android version. I read
