Phone.SetScreenOrientation(x)

[alfcen]

In an attempt to change screen orientation while an activity loads, my phone rebooted itself.

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    p.SetScreenOrientation(0)   
End Sub

Is it reasonable to assume that p.SetScreenOrientation(x) must not be placed inside Activity_Create, Activity_Resume and Activity_Pause?

Inside Activity_Click the screen rotates as expected.

Did it happen once, or is it consistent?

As I understand it, if you put it in Activity_Create, Activity_Resume or Activity_Pause you would create an endless loop as changing the orientation calls these.

Consistantly, Erel

Thanks for your thoughts, kickaha.

There is no known limit that restricts the usage of this method in Activity_Create. You should make sure not to call it with a different orientation each time. Setting the orientation to a specific orientation will not cause an endless loop.

Thanks a lot for your help, Erel!
