Auto screen rotation of N82

[hangyc]

Hello all,

I would like to know is there any API to disable the auto-rotation?
(Or is can only be disabled by set the "rotate screen" function to off?)

Thanks.

Regards,

In J2ME, there is no API to disable the autoscreen rotation. ?User can manually disable this feature in settings.

there is a alternate way to handle the event, when device comes into landscape mode, sizeChaged() method of Canvas class is called automatically . By implementing this method u can manage what u want to display on landscape mode on screen.

Hi Amardeep,

Thanks for the reply.

What I do is I create a screen buffer the same size as the canvas and when sizeChanged is called I check to see if I'm in landscape mode.

If I am, I render as normal to the buffer and render the image buffer to the screen rotated 90 degrees so effectively I fake it not rotating. Downside is on QVGA phones that costs you 307k in heap but unfortunately the beloved phone manufacturers didn't think of that.
