Android Question Phone.SetScreenOrientation inconsistent?

[doncx]

My app needs to freeze the current orientation, whatever that may be, and then release it for further rotation later using phone.SetScreenOrientation(-1).

Using the reflection library, I consistently get rotation values of 0,1,2,3 across devices (current target devices are Nexus 10 and Nexus 9 tablets) where 0 is landscape and the following numbers are clockwise 90 degree rotations.

However, when I use the current rotation value to SET the screen orientation, it works differently on the two devices.

The following works on the Nexus 10:

Select GetOrientation
Case 0
SetOrientation = 0 'landscape
Case 1
SetOrientation = 9 'Reverse Portrait
Case 2
SetOrientation = 8 'Reverse Landscape
Case 3
SetOrientation = 1 'Portrait

But this is what's needed on the Nexus 9:
Select GetOrientation
Case 0
SetOrientation = 1 'Portrait
Case 1
SetOrientation = 0 'Landscape
Case 2
SetOrientation = 9 'Reverse Portrait
Case 3
SetOrientation = 8 'Reverse Landscape

How can I find a mapping of Get to Set that works across devices?

It probably depends on the device default orientation. You can find it with the code I posted here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/sensor-orientation.36828/#post-216794

That was it, Erel. Thanks for the tip - I was unfamiliar with the concept of DefaultOrientation. All is well, and I'll try to better follow posting protocol in the future.
