orientation change event

[bolmaster2]

Hi all!
I was wondering if phonegap have fixed so we can listen for the
orientation change events from javascript? I read this thread about it
http://groups.google.com/group/phonegap/browse_thread/thread/cbf78e8ce2b81f9d
but that isnt a complete solution to it.

Does anyone have a working solution?

Thanks

I m not sure if its still unfixed

As first step therez nothing todo with it just add
a function
shouldAutoRotate
& return yes
In controller.m

I dont have code infront of me
Bt i hope this will help you

Thanks for that man, it makes webview rotate but it doesn't trigger an
event for the javascript to listen to, so we never know when the phone
is rotated!

In my eyes, this is a quite important feature for phonegap to have
included, right? Is it planned to be added?

I solved this by using the willRotateToInterfaceOrientation method and
from there called a javascript function with the new orientation.

Someone might find this useful, a bit modified from
http://groups.google.com/group/phonegap/browse_thread/thread/cbf78e8ce2b81f9d
to make it work:

- (void)willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:
(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:
(NSTimeInterval)duration {
NSString * jsCallBack = nil;
double i = 0;

switch (toInterfaceOrientation){
case UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait:
i = 0;
break;
case UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown:
i = 180;
break;
case UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft:
i = 90;
break;
case UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight:
i = -90;
break;
}


GlassAppDelegate *appDelegate = (GlassAppDelegate*)[[UIApplication
sharedApplication] delegate];
jsCallBack = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"setOrientation(%f);
window.onorientationchange();", i];
[appDelegate.webView
stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:jsCallBack];

[jsCallBack release];
}


For example the appDelegate.webView property you have to declare and
then set it in GlassAppDelegate.m like this:
- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)theWebView
{
[window bringSubviewToFront:viewController.view];
webView = theWebView;
}

Maybe thats not the best explanation..

I didn't check the javascript function call but my webView rotate with complete layout
but for that matter i used the CSS like this

body[orient="landscape"] > *:not(.toolbar) {
    min-height: 268px;
}

body[orient="landscape"] > .header > h1 {
    margin-left: -125px;
    width: 250px;
}

and it works for me without overiding willRoateToInterfaceOrientation method call as i dealt the complexity in CSS

Thats a nice solution, but in my case i needed to notify the
javascript to make changes to the dom.
