question

Hi Rkarthik83, Thank you for your post. Since you are setting the orientation in run time dynamically, the app would start with the orientation currently device has and then while the setRequestedOrientation() would be executed, the app would change the orientation. There would be a significant delay between the app starts and the above method gets executed. So you should experience the same as you have mentioned in your post. Could you tell me in which device you have seen different behavior? I have checked it amazon and non amazon devices. And both worked in the same way.

Thanks Sujan, I'm not seeing orientation swift in other devices like Samsung S3, Nexus 7 Inch tablet, Nexus 10 inch tablet, etc... I would say almost on all non kindle devices.

I think , you can use the below two scenario and customize it accordingly to your needs. First get which device it is: Log.i("test",("android.os.Build.DEVICE: " + android.os.Build.DEVICE)); Log.i("test",("android.os.Build.MODEL: " + android.os.Build.MODEL)); Log.i("test",("android.os.Build.PRODUCT: " + android.os.Build.PRODUCT)); Log.i("test",("android.os.Build.VERSION.CODENAME: " + android.os.Build.VERSION.CODENAME)); Log.i("test",("android.os.Build.VERSION.INCREMENTAL: " + android.os.Build.VERSION.INCREMENTAL)); Log.i("test",("android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE: " + android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE)); Log.i("test",("android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK: " + android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK)); Log.i("test",("android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT: " + String.valueOf(android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT))); Secondly: In onCreate method use switch case, Load the layout according to your needs. switch (getResources().getConfiguration().orientation){ case Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT: setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT); setContentView(R.layout.portrait); break; case Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE: setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE); setContentView(R.layout.landscape); break; }
