Of course i know InputMethodService already handles orientation.
Here is what i am trying to do, All application are portrait fixed. User touches input box, then softkeyboard appears. If user rotate the device, softkeyboard will also rotate to landscape mode. User selects done button, then keyboard disappear and portrait UI appears again without any rotation. ie., Activity will not allow rotation, but SIP will rotate regardless of the activity. My basic problem is... SIP can't receive the rotation event unless activity allow rotation. So could it ever possible divide the rotation mechanism in 'Activity' and 'InputMethodService'?
