Force Landscape Mode

In section Q and r of the last Conference, it was mentioned that it was possible to force an application in landscape or portrait. However, I missed the details on the way and hoped that someone had the details to do this...

Hey ebscer,.

to lock the orientation you have to modify/add details to your -app.xml file descriptor. Open the file and search tags. Add the following lines somewhere between these two tags (mine are just before the closing tag):

false
landscape

that should do the job! Good luck!

  • Force landscape mode with WebWorks

    To force a mode application landscape, the following should be added to in your *-app.xml file:

    fake

    landscape

    If I create one *-app.xml for my WebWorks project, however, it is ignored by the compiler. So far, I've been open my .bar file after compilation, extract the *-app.xml the compiler creates, edit and update the archive, but I suspect that this will not be an option when the time comes to sign my applications.

    What other options do I have?

    Hello world

    We have actually had discussions about this feature today... We look at a few solutions that would be built into the software.

    For the moment, you can try the following... (I have not tested it yet)

    If you go into the "bbwp\AirAppTemplates\src" directory where you installed the WebWorks for PlayBook SDK you'll find a file called WebWorksAppTemplate - App.xml

    I think it's the file use us as a model and then replace specific fields with the information from your config.xml file.

    Try to make changes to this file, and they can stick to you.  Also note that the changes here will affect all of the apps you build with the SDK.

  • iPhone 6 & Landscape Mode

    Aloha,

    No matter what I do, I can't get my iPhone 6 for work in landscape mode. For example, I opened a video in normal mode, and then switch to full screen and then try to turn the phone to display in the landscape, but the iPhone 6 do not return full landscape mode. I have the same thing to the text, or whatever it is.

    I forced a re-startup of the phone. What can I do?

    Maybe I'll be forced to restore the factory settings, but then I have to re install all the applications, which would be a pain.

  • Xoom buttons does not work in landscape mode

    Okay, so I already got basic measures to reboot, hard Boot (hold down the Volume Up and Reboot at the same time) and do a reset to the factory settings to try to resolve this issue, always have. Here it is:

    Recently without apparent reason, and when I'm in landscape mode, I can't interact with the "home" button, the "back" button, the Manager tasks and wake up. It doesn't matter what app I am or if I'm on the regular homescreen, they indicate simply that I'm in contact with them. The buttons are there, but it's as if there is simply no response from the user interface. IT IS ONLY IN LANDSCAPE MODE. Everything works well in portrait mode.

    I spoke with an agent who told me that I had to send it in for repair or replacement. It would cost me $150,00 to do. Tablet is not even really worth even more.

    It started to happen shortly after that I bought and started using a docking OEM with the Xoom.

    All your guys help would be greatly appreciated. This tablet is my only option to watch movies and netflix now. ; no TV. No one being not able to landscape mode and a few apps that I just can't leave if they force the landscape mode.

  • my iPhone 6s goes into landscape mode

    My iPhone 6s is locked in portrait orientation, so I can't use the landscape mode. How can I fix it?

    You have active locking direction? Swipe up and down the screen to view the Control Center and check to see if the far right circle is highlighted. If this is the case, tap it and try to turn your device again. Orientation lock is on in this screenshot:

  • Slide on the stroller in landscape mode when the "home" button is on the right

    I tried to cross the split screen/slide to work on my iPad Pro, and it drives me crazy!

    I can not work properly when I use the Smart keyboard and iPad is oriented mode landscape with button at home on the right side. No matter how hard I try, I can't tab to display by dragging my finger from right to left. I have to be to tilt the iPad to portrait or landscape mode with button at the House on the left, and then shared screen reverse the iPad back so that I can use the keyboard.

    Every once in a while I'll manage to get the tab appears, but it is extremely rare.

    If someone has experienced this problem and, if so, have you solved?

    Thank you!

    Hello idiot3qu3,

    Comparable to that you are facing questions are a few bugs that a number of people may or may not be one on their iPads. It should be smoothed in a future iOS firmware update. Until then, you just have to work in another direction, or simply use the button home, turned to the left landscape.

    Hope this helped,

    No, the music application is not designed to work in landscape mode. You can suggest that Apple add this functionality by leaving your comments: http://apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

  • landscape mode

    All the time, I use my phone in landscape mode.
    I need an option to make Firefox for landscape mode permanent android rather than let Android decide orientation.

    This option is available on Dolphin Browser, which is my goto browser but would certainly use Firefox if it is an additional function.

    Hello haydenl3, what seems to be partly possible - try the following: enter Subject: config in the address bar, search for the preference named app.orientation.default & change its value to landscape.

    for me, it was necessary to restart the application, and then enable/disable the automatic rotation back once for this purpose. then the setting of firefox seems to work on all Web pages, but not when you press the bar addresses or in the settings - it still will follow the orientation defined by android on these screens...

  • Displays the text of Cat Endangered in Landscape Mode

    I use a German HTC 7 Pro Windows Phone 7.10.8107.79 running and the text of conversations disappears completely when trying to enter text in Landscape Mode.

    This happens in the following circumstances:

    Click on a Skype contact

    Hold the phone sideways to switch to Mode landscape

    Slide the physical keyboard to enter text

    automatically any text of the conversation that happened so far will disappear, any new text added to the conversation by you or your conversation partner is not displayed either. The text in the chat box you enter gets displayed (up to it send it to you).

    The bug does not occur in the following circumstances:

    Click on a Skype contact

    Hold the phone sideways to switch to Mode landscape

    Do not drag on the physical keyboard, commit the software keyboard instead by clicking on the chat box

    Once the software keyboard gets displayed, drag the physical keyboard

    When this replica, the conversation always appears (as opposed to the "natural method" to simply drag the physical keyboard).

    Hello

    Unfortunately, this behavior can be changed for the moment. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Photos rotate from Portrait to landscape mode when em

    I discovered that all the photos I take orientation portrait once sent to someone, they are reversed for the landscape. The photos cannot be turned to the correct orientation with opening program Paint and rotate manually. Is there any solution for this?

    I take hundreds and thousands of photos of my life (children, holidays etc.) and will not have to handle them later once moved on my computer.

    Note: If you reduce the image quality at 6mp it solves the problem, too, if you shoot the pic in HDR mode. I wouldn't have to do to make it work. IN CASE OF FAILURE.

    Please tell me that there is a fix for this.

    I want to give up a follow up on this situation. I just Jelly Bean and it solved my problem of camera. He keeps standard taken in 8mp photos in portrait in portrait orientation. It does not turn them in landscape mode if I wanted to, but that's ok with me.
