Hi Everybody,
I'm using AppGameKit 2 and I'm very happy with it. However, I ran into an issue, and I was hoping somebody could help me. I want to make it so when my app loads, it is automatically in landscape and stays there. I don't want it to be portrait at all. I want it to load in landscape and stay in landscape. Any help at all would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You need SetOrientationAllowed()

Also, put more details into your subject. "I need help with something" doesn't help when people are using the search facility to find information in the forums.

Thanks for the help. When I run my app over the agk app for testing. It still loads in portrait, even if I do setorientationallowed(0,0,1,0). What I want to have happen is when the app loads, I don't want it to load in portrait at all, I want it to load right into landscape. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The AppGameKit Player will have it's own orientation settings that will mess up your own. Try exporting an APK and install directly on the device. Should work fine.

The player will start in the orientation the device is in when the player is started. Hold the device in Landscape first, then start the player.

Ok, so if I make an apk and put it on the device, it will automatically load in landscape when I have the setorientationallowed(0,0,1,0)? How about on IOS? Thanks! I appreciate all of your help!

There are settings in both iOS (the <appname>.plist file) and Android (the AndroidManifest.xml file) to specify the initial orientation that an app should run in.

You can also specify the initial orientation and restrict the orientation somewhere in the iOS Xcode project.

I've attached the ones used for a demo project. They are about 2.5 years old, but I think the current files would be similar.
Cheers,

Thanks so much for posting that. I made the apk file landscape which you can do now with the export, or you can do with the setscreenorientation(0,0,1,0) like I did, but now it's showing up in landscape, but it looks like portrait, it is starting to drive me nuts now, lol. Any ideas?
