Orientation API

Orientation API

As of Mobile Designer 10.3, Fix 5, orientation mode can only be specified at runtime. By default, screen orientation is not locked to one specific position and rotates together with the device. To lock screen orientation to portrait mode, you can override the init() method of the MDApplication class with the following code:

IOrientationService orientationService = (IOrientationService)
getService(IMDApplication.ORIENTATION_SERVICE);
orientationService.lock(IOrientationService.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

The Orientation API deprecates the following properties:

project.handset.landscape.mode

project.handset.orientation.limiter

project.handset.portrait.mode.orientation
