Rotation event issue

Can I prevent that annoying black box from rotating on my screen during rotation events?

Hi @pbligh,

You can’t control (eliminate) the box itself, but you can use orientation listeners to “sync” the screen rotation with the box, at least to a decent degree of accuracy. Although, this probably isn’t the answer you wanted to hear, sorry. :frowning:

Hi Brent, Hi pbligh,

I have the same problem as you, pbligh.

Brent could you give us a sample code to illustrate your explanation above?

I’m not sure to understand how to do when you say _"_you can use orientation listeners to “sync” the screen rotation with the box, at least to a decent degree of accuracy."

Thank you very much

local function onOrientationChange (e)
    local newAngle = display.currentStage.rotation - e.delta
    transition.to( display.currentStage, {time= 500, rotation = newAngle})
end

Runtime:addEventListener( “orientation”, onOrientationChange )

Thanks jstrahan  :)

Hi    :slight_smile:

I tried  jstrahan’s solution above

Sorry but I have not managed to do what I wanted… 

Rotation seems to stop randomly…and my screen is shifted.

How could I be sure that my screen will be on a landscapeRight or LandscapeLeft position after rotation?

Did I miss something?

Thanks
