Android Question B4Xpages - Orientations: landscape 180 degreess rotated

[MarcRB]

Hello,

I know B4XPages doesn't support rotation by sensor in B4A.
Is it possible or is there a good workaround to show layouts landscape with the tablet top on right side? I mean landscape and 180 degrees rotated.
With activity's I used SensorLandscape, but that isn't possible for Pages.

My Tablet case has a kickstand. In that landscape stand the case is rotated 180 degrees. But it is still Landscape.

#SupportedOrientations: landscape-180

With activity's I used SensorLandscape, but that isn't possible for Pages.

It should work, have you tried it?

At compile I got an error when using SensorLandscape

#Region  Project Attributes
    #ApplicationLabel: MyApp
    #VersionCode: 1103001
    #VersionName:  V11.03.1
    #SupportedOrientations: Sensorlandscape
    #CanInstallToExternalStorage: False
#End Region

During compile i see this...

I also tried the integer value 6 and 8 ReverseLandscape

I'm rewriting my 17 activity project to pages. Just started. So everything is still very clean, nothing that can conflict with the orientation.

I have used the phone library and put the following in Main Activity. It works for me.

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    'Comment out #SupportedOrientations: in Project Attributes , actually this doesn't matter, it is superseded by code.
    Dim ph As Phone
    ph.SetScreenOrientation(8)

    Dim pm As B4XPagesManager
    pm.Initialize(Activity)
End Sub
