Put the android:screenOrientation=sensor as an attribute on each
activity in your manifest that you want to be sensor-oriented.
Works great! Thx for the tip hackbod!

Hi,
Will this setting make the screen change to lanscape using the
accelerometer? If so, where do I put this setting?
Thanks

Yes, you use exactly what I wrote.

You need to store whatever information determines the state of your
application, use the following overrides:
@Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
// example
savedInstanceState.putString(someKey, someString);
}
then on the load:
@Override
public void
As a followup, I have now found at least 3 ways do determine the
orientation, all of which use different constants with different
values.
* There is the aforementioned Activity.getRequestedOrientation which
uses the ActivityInfo constants wherein landscape=0 and portrait=1
* Then there is
Setting this android:screenOrientation=sensor
as mentioned above worked perfect.. it switched the view as the phone
changed.
I then only created alternate XML files for the layouts that needed
tweaking and it worked like a charm.

Right. I have done that too, and it works great. The problem is that
aside from using a different layout, my Activity actually needs to do
slightly different logic bassed on the orientation, (it builds its
options menu differently for landscape than for portrait), which means

You could use yet another method: :-)
Define a textview with id=R.id.text_portrait in your portrait layout,
and in the landscape layout as R.id.text_landscape.
Now, if findViewById(R.id.text_portrait) returns null, you know that
currently the landscape layout is being displayed :-)
But
Thanks hackbod! I too had not been aware of this. I was about to
deploy
it, until I realized that blind users of my app could be
inadvertently
changing physical orientation, each time causing a soft reset of my
app
with associated hickups through the repeated calls to onCreate().
Guess
I should
I searched the documentation for this kind of functionality but I
overlook that one completely :(
Thanks for pointing that one out! That's exactly what I was looking
for.

The problem I'm having is what event to trap or how to go about
determining which way the phone is being held.
The following should work from within an activity:
SensorManager sensors = (SensorManager)getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
I don't know what you mean by turn the view. When the orientation
changes to switch from the dominant to secondary orientation (portrait
to landscape on the g1), the graphics of the entire screen are rotated
to result in the screen being shown in the new orientation. As such,
there is no need
From what I was told by a user of my application, that it did not
change view, even when the keyboard was opened for text entry.
I've built two set's of layout files, and stored them in layout and
layout-land for when the view changes. In emulator mode they work
fine, CTRL-F12 works fine.. but,
Your user is confused. The standard orientation policy is to select
the orientation based on the keyboard: when the keyboard is closed it
is portrait, when open it is landscape. Pressing Ctrl+F12 in the
emulator is exactly the same as sliding the keyboard out on the G1.

And that's why he want's to set the orientation programmatically - the
users expect that when the phone is turned sideways then the picture
is also turned sideways:) The user is not confused - he just thinks
that Android has a feature that it does not have (sadly).
As for the solution - Xolotl
Don't do that, or moving between your app and others will be flicker.
Just use android:screenOrientation=sensor.

Use the android:screenOrientation attribute when declaring your
manifest:
