Android Question Change orientation makes B4Xpages go back to first page

[asales]

There are an old thread where the soluction is: change orientation to portrait.

Now the Play Console shows a warning about change the orientation to unspecified to use with Android 16 (there is will be mandatory in 2026 to foldable devices and tablets).

I want to start to change my apps (that is all using the portrait orientation) to unspecified, but I get this behavior: always back to the first page and this info in the logs:
#SupportedOrientations attribute must be set to landscape or portrait.

With this line in the manifest, I can solved half of the problem (don't back to first page):

SetActivityAttribute(Main, "android:configChanges", "orientation|layoutDirection")

but when I change the orientation, the layout don't adjust in the scren

Any tip to solved it?

Thanks in advance.

I never tried to change orientation since using B4XPages.
Since you said it reverts back to first page, how about assigning a public variable to store the name of page when loading each page and reload the page base on the variable when the screen orientation changed.

One limitation of B4XPages is that you are bound to ONE Orientation and it can not be changed.

Before we start:

1. You are not forced to use B4XPages. All the current features behave exactly as before.
2. It does have some limitations. One notable limitation is that in B4A, the activity that holds all the pages should be locked to a single orientation.
3. It is supported by the latest versions of B4J, B4i and B4A.

Thanks both for the answers.

I'll wait for an answer from @Erel too about this feature, because the orientation = unspecified will be mandatory in a near future.

To me - that has dozen of apps in the Play Store - will better to start to implement this modifications, because is a huge work to adapt some apps to fit in both sizes.

For now - B4XPages projects must be locked to a specific orientation. It will be changed in the future.
