Orientation change Help

Can you post your code.....? It's easier to see the whole picture.

You should set the Main Activity to portrait only and the Setup Activity to landscape only, in the IDE menu Project / Orientations Supported.

Best regards.

I don't understand why I would want to do that. I want both of my Activities to be able to use portrait and landscape orientations.

Tom, I have 3 modules (Main, Setup and Code) and before I post that code which is still a fair amount, my basic question really is this:

When viewing the screen in one Activity, in portrait mode, and you then manually change to landscape mode, what can cause another Activity to display?

I would have thought that if I was in my Setup Activity it would stay in that Activity no matter how many times I turned the phone to portrait and landscape and back again, etc.

Apparently, something else is triggering the Main Activity .Create/Resume modes while I'm in my Setup Activity yes?

That's how I understoud your question.
To get a precise answer you must ask precise questions.
As written many times the best way to get a quick concrete answer is to post the project as a zip file.

Best regards.

"While in Setup screen I rotate into landscape mode and the Main screen displays, in landscape."
Are you saying you're rotating the phone/pad? Because this would indeed cause the orientation to change (a normal condition when you have not defined a preferred orientation). Again code would help, but if you wish to retain the normal orientation change when rotating the device, your problem is unclear!

Orientation change causes a pause/resume condition. Do you have code to service this change?

Tom, I checked my Pause function and I had (don't know why) an Activity.Finish in there so that's why the Setup screen didn't display in landscape when I manually rotated the phone.

I removed it and it now seems to work fine.

Thanks again to you and Klaus.
