Experimenting with the Google Maps app, it seems that its compass arrow points the wrong way in one of the two landscape orientations. So my guess is that it is using Display.getOrientation(), and then guessing wrongly 50% of the time if the answer is "landscape". (It doesn't seem to allow upside-down portrait.) Is there really no better way to do this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
