Android Question [SOLVED] Phone library :: SetScreenOrientation

[JoeR]

What is the SetScreenOrientation value for unspecified in the Phone library?

My app has several modules, one of which displays a map using osmdroid/mapview. Within that module (only) , I want to display an initial screen as landscape - but thereafter to "honour" the situation where a user rotates the device.

In the other modules, I want to force landscape all the time. I would like to achieve this programmatically using phone (or another equivalent) library.

I cannot use the #SupportedOrientations: parameter in Project Attributes as this applies across all modules all the time.

The Phone library documentation says:

SetScreenOrientation (Orientation As Int)
Changes the current activity orientation. This method cannot be called from a service module.
Orientation - -1 for unspecified, 0 for landscape and 1 for portrait.

The (very simple) code that I currently use is:

Sub Process_Globals
  Dim phone1 As Phone

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
phone1.SetScreenOrientation(0)  ' force landscape for map

The value of unspecified is -1.

Thank you for the prompt response. I had misinterpreted the - - as punctuation!

Phone add the library and declare the variable
but I can not assign ownership

As p Private Phone

p.SetScreenOrientation (0) 'or 1 Depending on the orientation you need.

setScreenOrientation not exist as property

I do wrong?

What B4A version do you have? the Phone library is part of the B4A installation and the current version is 2.26.

One more thing, please do not post the same question on several threads.
