Any plans on exposing 'orientation', with a change signal? Six basic orientations, possibly a flag to note if the orientation appears to be changing 'now' (IE rotation seems to be taking place but not yet reached threshold to consider a new orientation), another for 'in motion' (IE, if sum of vectors is ~1g then figure orientation, if sum is <>g by at least 10% or some such factor then consider it 'in motion' and do NOT consider orientation changed), and a signal emitted to subscribers when the orientation has clearly changed. something like: trigger: orientationchange() filters: HasAttr(orientation,"facedown") could be used to set 'donotdisturb', then filter Not(HasAttr....) to restore. For my personal use, I'd set it up to always lock the touchscreen if vertically inverted. (when not in use, my FR is in my pocket, %100 of the time it's inverted, and I'm tired of finding launched apps, zhone trying to dial, zhone GPS open, etc) j _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
