Re: [android-developers] In-app checkout interface is always in landscape mode on Honeycomb
Yes, I was thinking about the same, but the client is not very happy about it :( This is the point when it's really hard to defend Google's approach when talking to my client. Anyway, thanks to all for the ideas. I think it's pretty clear that Android Market is simply forcing landscape mode no matter what, which is imo silly.

Re: [android-developers] In-app checkout interface is always in landscape mode on Honeycomb
How about an additional activity without the orientation lock between the locked main one (in your app) and the purchase activity (displayed by Market). You could then use it to display some kind of help text, describing the purchase, and how it's going to improve the application - which to me seems like a useful thing to have. -- Kostya 2011/9/29 Speedy Lope > On Wed, Sep 21, 2011 at 9:37 AM, Nikolay Elenkov < > nikolay.elen...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> On Wed, Sep 21, 2011 at 6:55 AM, Speedy wrote: >> > Hi, >> > >> > I'm building application on SKD 11+ (Android 3.x) and when I'm doing >> > in-app billing request the checkout popup is always displaying in >> > landscape mode - causing that my whole app rotates to landscape mode >> > even though the app is locked to portrait. >> >> Don't lock you app to portrait, or at least don't lock the activity >> responsible >> for purchases. >> > > Yes, the activity (not the app) is locked to portrait as it is simply not > supposed to be in landscape.

[android-developers] In-app checkout interface is always in landscape mode on Honeycomb
Hi, I'm building application on SKD 11+ (Android 3.x) and when I'm doing in-app billing request the checkout popup is always displaying in landscape mode - causing that my whole app rotates to landscape mode even though the app is locked to portrait. Is there any way to display purchase popup in portrait mode on Honeycomb? Apparently it has something to do with Android Market which is also displaying only in landscape, as it is apparently responsible for checkout popup. Thanks a lot. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
