Mobile Orientation

Post by Jamie37 » Wed Mar 30, 2016 8:43 pm

Hello,

I have used this code from this website: http://runrev.screenstepslive.com/s/352 ... ientations

Basically the problem I am having is I want the orientation to change to 'Landscrape Left' automatically when I enter one substack which is does fine. The problem is that it does not return to portrait on the other stacks. I have the code set on portrait but it does not seem to be doing anything. Can anyone help me please?

Thanks
Jamie

why not just allow the user to choose:

if the environment is "mobile" then

--Portrait , Portrait Upside Down , Landscape Left, Landscape Right are the 4 Parameters to be passed in the function iphoneSetAllowedOrientations

put "portrait,portrait upside down,landscape left,landscape right" into theallowed

-- Function Call

mobileSetAllowedOrientations theallowed

end if

Hi newtronsois,

I need the orientation to be forced to landscape for only one substack but the rest of the app needs to be natively in portrait. Is this possible?

With mobileSetAllowedOrientations the setting take affect the next time an orientation change is applied. The interface orientation only changes if the new orientation is among the configured list.
I sugget you to use the mobileLockOrientation command to temporarily prevent orientation changes.
