V2014.01, Android and Landscape mode

Jeff_Kanazi

Hi,

There appears to be some issue with the 2014.01 release and orientation when building Android apps. In Gideros Studio the project is defined with orientation Landscape Left. In the AppManifest.xml file it is defined as Landscape as well (android:screenOrientation="Landscape"). When started the application does start in Landscape mode but it looks like the Gideros activity does not see that and rotates it at 90 degrees and the screen is all messed up.

With earlier versions the same setup worked just fine.

Workaround is to set android:screenOrientation="portrait" in the manifest - that makes the app show in ;landscape mode and it is usable but this does look crappy especially on tablets with soft Android screen buttons. One would expect those buttons to be under the screen and not on the side. Same with notifications etc.

Is there something we can do to address this? Basically have the app start in Landscape mode and work properly? We have tried some things in the Lua code but without success.

Thanks!

Another interesting thing - so in order to test other things we have changed screenOrientation to Portrait but the app crashes every time after the screen locked with the following error:

What might this be?

Interesting, just released a landscape app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jenots.x2048

do you have same problems with it?

And I don't if that make any changes, but I define: android:screenOrientation="landscape" in manifest (lowercased)

Interesting. There must be something going on when a project is exported for the first time from a new Gideros Studio version but I could not figure what exactly.

So Exporting the project again to a new folder (not the same folder I have been using with the previous release of Gideros) and literary moving over folder by folder assets, libs, src, and AndroidManifest somehow fixed the problem in the new folder. Then I copied the new project folder back over the original project folder and that one started working too.

Perhaps a file that Eclipse creates when not there (the new folder) but does not know to re-create when the source files are touched by the complete Gideros export? It is obviously not related to assets, libraries or java source files.

Anyway, problem solved. ... It is really painful to upgrade to the next Gideros release for apps with multiple plugins... BTW the weird crash is gone too.

Thanks
