Screen Orientation in Raspberry Pi 3 with Android Things 0.5.1

[arcontech...@gmail.com]

Anyone knows how to display in portrait mode with Raspberry Pi 3, Android things 0.5.1, and a HDMI screen?

Ive tried lcd_rotation, display_rotation, and nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Any luck figuring this out? In 0.4.1 the following worked:

If things are not rotated properly you can use the following commands to change the screen rotation.

First disable auto-rotation:

“adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/system --bind name:s:accelerometer_rotation --bind value:i:0”

Set portrait:

“adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/system --bind name:s:user_rotation --bind value:i:1”

Set landscape:

“adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/system --bind name:s:user_rotation --bind value:i:0”

However, doesn't seem to work in 0.5.0 or 0.5.1. When my display is in portrait mode, it doesn't show up (Black Screen or completely broken screen) but when I turn it back to landscape I see a brief flash of the display rendered correctly (in portrait mode) before it switches (to landscape).
