buildozer.spec file rotation - need landscape, but flip 180 degrees

[Brent Picasso]

Hi,

For our android build I have the buildozer.spec orientation set to 'landscape' mode, but the app remains upside down when the device is flipped 180 degrees.  I was expecting the app to rotate, but remain in landscape mode.

Am I missing something else, or does Kivy not currently support 180 degree rotation?

Thank you,

Brent

'landscape' means the primary landscape direction of the device. You want to set the screenOrientation token to 'sensorLandscape', but I'm not sure if buildozer lets you do this directly. If not, you could open an issue on github about it.

Even if you can't conveniently do that, you can set the orientation setting by calling the android api with pyjnius. This is now available in plyer (https://github.com/kivy/plyer), something like plyer.orientation.set_sensor('landscape')

Thanks, Alexander - I'll check that out. Wonder if I could submit that as a PR to include it natively. Guessing that's handled through python for android, buried somewhere here in the Java code? https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android

it seems straight-forward to fix :)

I think with python-for-android you can actually submit precisely the
string you want (e.g. sensorLandscape for you) and it's just pasted in
the template, but buildozer does something extra. I haven't checked that
though.

Either way, I think an improvement here would be welcome.
