Android Code Snippet screen orientation - constant values

Just finishing reading some threads about setting screen orientation, and noticed that some threads were just using numeric values, and others were using constants with the wrong numeric values (e.g. sensorPortrait is 7, not 9).

So I looked up the Android dev docs and compiled this list of constants that you can use with the SetScreenOrientation call from the phone library (or elsewhere in your code):

    Public Const ORIENTATION_UNSPECIFIED As Int = -1
    Public Const ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE As Int = 0
    Public Const ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT As Int = 1
    Public Const ORIENTATION_USER As Int = 2
    Public Const ORIENTATION_BEHIND As Int = 3
    Public Const ORIENTATION_SENSOR As Int = 4
    Public Const ORIENTATION_NO_SENSOR As Int = 5
    Public Const ORIENTATION_SENSOR_LANDSCAPE As Int = 6
    Public Const ORIENTATION_SENSOR_PORTRAIT As Int = 7
    Public Const ORIENTATION_REVERSE_LANDSCAPE As Int = 8
    Public Const ORIENTATION_REVERSE_PORTRAIT As Int = 9
    Public Const ORIENTATION_FULL_SENSOR As Int = 10
    Public Const ORIENTATION_USER_LANDSCAPE As Int = 11
    Public Const ORIENTATION_USER_PORTRAIT As Int = 12
    Public Const ORIENTATION_FULL_USER As Int = 13
    Public Const ORIENTATION_LOCKED As Int = 14

These values are described here in the Android docs. Some have been supported forever, some need somewhat newer Android versions:

Hope this helps!

@Erel - would these constants be useful to add to the Phone library itself?
