  @ExCx did you set your app's orientation as landscape inside Android manifest?

  @ar2rsawseen I'm trying it with Gideros Player on the phone. I don't know about that file but I guess it is generated if I compile the whole application, is it?

  @ExCx :- dont worry about that when you finally export the project just you need to change one small line in manifest file from portrait to landscape. every thing will work fine when you change that line.

  @ExCx: I have tried to get this issue addressed with this thread but it seems to have been overlooked.

  That's a pretty large range

  I encountered the same problem, but in my app the user is allowed to change orientation, thus i cannot fix one orientation in advance in the manifest file.
  is it possible to change the android os orientation from within gideros code?
  i need it only for the alert dialog, so if it is possible to force alert dialog to change orientation as i like, that's also good.
  if none of this is possible, then take is a feature request.

  Let me try to add this as a feature. But honestly I don't know if it's possible or not.

  thanks, hope it is possible.
  a possible alternative would be to be able to set auto orientation for the app in manifest (if that's possible) and then an event would be fired whenever orientation changes, so that i can listen to this event and rebuild the gui according to the new orientation.

  @keszegh try this one:

  android:screenOrientation="sensor"

  at AndroidManifest.xml, more about modes: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html#screen
  it works for me like you said: orientation of alert dialog depends on device orientation, and you can seperately use orientation modes of user preferences from lua. This "sensor" will affect only on alert dialog ...
