Android Question Deny screen Orientation Landscape Right

[Mattiaf]

Is there a way to deny the app to support the orientation landscape right?
I'm only interested on Portrait and Landscape Left.
Thanks

darvuewlta.SetScreenOrientation(9) 'or 1 depending on the orientation you need.

'
' SetOrientation = 1 'Portrait
' SetOrientation = 0 'Landscape
' SetOrientation = 9 'Reverse Portrait
' SetOrientation = 8 'Reverse Landscape

Have a good one

can you be more specific? where are you denying screen rotation landscape right and allowing portrait and landscape left?

This is the way I use for rotation and it is fixed and does not change, Maybe there is another way but I do not know it

did you read my question? i need two orientation possibilities, denying landscape right. Your code does not help because i need to deny, not to set

Pray, what is different if user from 'Portrait' mode rotates the mobile Left of Right ?

Can you show your app screen images in different orientations ?
We may suggest some remedy for it.

Set another Orientation if the orientation set is not allowed.

' SetOrientation = 1 'Portrait
' SetOrientation = 0 'Landscape
' SetOrientation = 9 'Reverse Portrait
' SetOrientation = 8 'Reverse Landscape

This are all possibilities. If you want to deny 8 then set 0 if 8 is set instead.

I think we do not have such option in Android.
But we are here to help you. If you show the the problem in "landscape right side orientation" we may suggest some remedy for it.

Set another Orientation if the orientation set is not allowed.

' SetOrientation = 1 'Portrait
' SetOrientation = 0 'Landscape
' SetOrientation = 9 'Reverse Portrait
' SetOrientation = 8 'Reverse Landscape

This are all possibilities. If you want to deny 8 then set 0 if 8 is set instead.

so how to allow only portrait and landscape left? :/

You did read my answer? Set a NEW one if the wrong one is set

Reverse Screen Orientation and Compass

Sorry, if I overlooked something. Is there any means of checking whether a screen orientation is reverse or 'normal'? If possible without the Phone library (my users dislike this permission). This seems important as the compass is 180 degrees off in reverse mode. It also appears as if...

so i can set more than one orientation?

NO! How should that work? I never saw any android app which shows two different orientations at the same time

As i wrote:
You can check the active Orientation and set another one if the wrong one is set. That´s the only thing i can imagine to prevent a specific orientation.

ok so basically the logic is to check the current phone orientation and if orientation = reverse landscape than set orientation to portrait. Am i wrong?

If this is a non-B4XPages App you could use this to advice the user to change orientation.
Since orientation change triggers Activity_Create it will work all the time.

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Do While GetOrientation = 3
        xui.MsgboxAsync("Please rotate the device", "Orientation problem")
        Wait For MsgBox_Result (Result As Int)
    Loop
End Sub

Private Sub GetOrientation As Int
    Dim r As Reflector
    r.Target = r.GetContext
    r.Target = r.RunMethod2("getSystemService", "window", "java.lang.String")
    r.Target = r.RunMethod("getDefaultDisplay")
    Return r.RunMethod("getOrientation")
End Sub
