Programatically change orientation?

[matthias]

Hi,

I have been developing a similar library (Calculon, it's on github)
over the last couple months (I started before I knew about Robotium,
would probably have made sense to join efforts, but what gives), and I
struggle to find a way to flip the screen in-code. This would be
tremendously useful for writing acceptance tests related to the
correct recovering from interruptions like phone calls, an issue that
plagues many Android apps.

Did you find out how?

Thanks,
Matthias

Hi Matthias,

When you have the activity you can use:
activity.setRequestedOrientation(orientation); That will set the
orientation for that activitiy.

I'm fairly sure I tried that before and it didn't work (i.e.
onSaveInstanceState() and onRestoreInstanceState() were not called),
but I'll give it another shot. Do you have a working example maybe?

No not at the moment. I will have to take a look at it when I get some
time over.
