Landscape / Portrait mode

Scouser

@atilim: would it be possible in the next release for the exporter to look at the project settings and change the AndroidManifest.xml of the exported project to reflect this option? Currently the file defaults to (android:screenOrientation="portrait") where in a landscape mode app it should be (android:screenOrientation="landscape")

I have noticed a few projects released have adverts displaying vertically on the right of the screen and on ICS the notification bar also displays on the right of the screen in landscape mode.

I manually changed the manifest file myself to make sure that was what is causing the problem and not anything I was doing. Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

noted On the other hand, it's totally valid to set android:screenOrientation="landscape". Btw, in your case, does setting the screenOrientation to landscape in AndroidManifest.xml work well?

@atilim: Yes it does work well. I just thought that as the project is set to landscape within GiderosStudio you could assume that the dev would like the app to reflect this on an android device.

The main reason I brought it up was that if it's done automatically when the project is exported then the dev has no need to go modifying the exported project and so can't blame Gideros when he/she makes a mistake.

If you tell a beginner to change it themselves then they will probably complain if something goes wrong.
