Hello,

I have an app and want it to stay in horizontal mode. I am using this in the xml file:

<qnx>
  <initialWindow>
    <systemChrome>none</systemChrome>
    <transparent>false</transparent>
    <version>1.0.126</version>
    <autoOrients>false</autoOrients>		
    <aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
  </initialWindow>
  <publisher>xz</publisher>
  <splashscreen>splash.png</splashscreen>
  <permission>access_shared</permission>
  <icon>
  	<image>blackberry-tablet-icon.png</image>
  </icon>
</qnx>

but that app still rotates. i am using sdk 0.9.4.

You need to upgrade to 1.0.1 of the SDK/simulator. It might be a simulator issue.

I've always had the orientation settings in my -app.xml file, not the blackberry-tablet.xml file. Never had a problem with them on earlier simulators.

yesss, that was the solution!

Wow sems complicated. Any simpler method to lock the rotation?I like to use the torch while lying down on my side...

newcomer9747: This thread is referring to how devs can lock the rotation of their own apps.

Check something like this for how you as a user can lock your device's rotation.

And if he's referring to the PlayBook (given that this is the PlayBook forum, at least until we see AIR on QNX phones), there's a convenient icon in the system tray (title bar on home screen) to let you lock the orientation. Talk about simple!

Oops sorry I'm surfing with the torch so didn't |notice this is a playbook forum. Sorry!
