I appreciate the response. As best I can tell, this doesn't really solve my problem. I understand the article, but it seems like its talking about using the translation stuff for offsetting. I'm aware of android:screenOrientation, however IIRC, it cant handle the native orientations + 180 (upside down landscape etc).
We have no on board accelerometers, and effectively want to be able to in software flip whatever switches we need to act as if there was an orientation change event. I want the entire os to flip to said orientation. Any more pointers would be helpful.
