Hi,

I am working on Nokia N95, which supports landscape and portrait mode. I want to restrict my application to run in portrait mode only whether device is in landscape mode. I can rotate image and text at angle of 270 using Sprite.TRANS_ROT270 while device is in landscape mode, but not able to rotate command area or annunciator area as portrait.

Is there any way to rotate this or how can we restrict our application to go into landscape mode ...?

Thank you,
Regards,
Aparna

Hi Aparna,

check out this related thread:

Basically, you can force a specific display orientation by using "Nokia-MIDlet-Canvas-Scaling-Orientation-Switch" JAD property only starting from S60 3rd edition FP2 devices, while N95 is a FP1 phone.

Anyway, about the workaround you're using, you could try by using fullscreen Canvas displayables and custom commands, to totally hide "standard" UI elements.

Hi Pit,

I have tried with setFullScreen Mode, it is working fine for all screens, excepts "Menu Popup" screen. In my application we are using Commands with more then two options, when I try to slide a phone when "Menu items screen" is on, application behave differently, it goes to sizeChanged() function once; where I write the following code:

protected void sizeChanged(int w, int h)
{
if(w >=320 && h <= 240)
{
isSliderOn = true;
setFullScreenMode(true);
}
else
{
setFullScreenMode(false);
isSliderOn = false;
}
}

Due to setFullScreenMode(true), some garbage screen appears(ie the screen from where we slide the phone) and still the menu popup is activated in background. And when I close the slider control doesn't go to the sizeChanged() function so the same screen appears with popup activated in background.

Is there any event through which we can get Popup is on or not in canvas?

I have also try to solve it without setting canvas fullscreen mode, at this time when control goes to sizeChanged() I have removed all commnads added in the canvas and when I resumed back I am adding them again, but here when I am removing the commands, commands get removed one by one ie user can see the removale. How can I remove all commands at once? as we don't have removeAllCommands() in canvas.

Please let me know workaround for this.

Thank
Aparna

Hi,

I have solved it by Canvas Switching.
