Orientation lock does not work on nokia belle fp1

[mots_g]

Hi,
I upgraded my phone OS from Symbian Belle to Nokia Belle FP1. My screen orientation lock stopped working and now the app rotates with the phone. My code earlier worked fine on Symbian Belle and other predecessors.

viewer = new QmlApplicationViewer();
viewer->setOrientation(QmlApplicationViewer::ScreenOrientationLockPortrait);
and in my pro file, I define:
DEFINES += ORIENTATIONLOCK

What could I be missing?

Thanks

While not cross-platform, and so may not be what you are looking for, I can confirm that the embedding of the native code method of implementing the screen lock is still working correctly under Belle FP1:

Hi,
I figured out that if you call setOrientation() before setSource()/setMainQmlFile() the lock is not effective. If you call it after setSource()/setMainQmlFile() it seems to work.

EDIT: While the above was correct for the template app, unfortunately it looks like it did not offer a universal fix for this issue...
