Orientation Modes - prevent Landscape?

[martintietz]

Is there a way to prevent the app from going into Titanium.UI.LANDSCAPE_LEFT and Titanium.UI.LANDSCAPE_RIGHT mode? Unfortunately, assigning orientationModes = [Titanium.UI.PORTRAIT, Titanium.UI.UPSIDE_PORTRAIT] to leftWindow, centerWindow, rightWindow does not lead to success.

The issue you're having doesn't have anything to do with this Module. You set your supported orientation modes in your tiapp.xml file like so - http://d.pr/i/jtvC

Please read the appcelerator documentation - http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/3.0/#!/guide/Orientation - they're extensive and very helpful.

Thanks for the link, but I tried that already, of course ;) Removing

<orientation>Ti.UI.LANDSCAPE_LEFT</orientation>
<orientation>Ti.UI.LANDSCAPE_RIGHT</orientation>

from tiapp.xml does not prevent the drawer and its contents from switching to a landscape mode.

My use case is the following: I want to prevent any landscape mode for everything inside the Drawer (center window and sidebars). But I also want to be able to open a new window (e.g. a videoplayer) and allow landscape modes for this specific window. Is this possible using this module?

Well, removing those from your tiapp file should inhibit your app from rotating to either of those orientations completely. Have you tried cleaning your build after updating your tiapp file?

[martintietz]

Yes, I ran titanium clean before rebuilding the project - no change. I even tried the app.js from the module's example directory. The app rotates, no matter what the orientation settings are.

After some digging into the module's source code I noticed that there is an undocumented parameter orientationModes that can be used inside createDrawer(). There is also a setter method.
Worth a mention inside the docs :)

Nice find! Put in a pull request with an updated readme and or example app.js and I'm sure @viezel would consider accepting it.
