Some applications have exited and returned to a home \nscreen which is very nicely in portrait orientation but it seems the system \nnotices and quickly returns it to landacape. Normally I hold portrait and see a \nlandscape Home. When an application is launched it appears in my physical \norientation: portrait. When I return to Home it is a landscape display.\n\nSL4A\nWhen using script shortcuts which run in a terminal the terminal and dialogs \ndisplay in the orientaiion I am holding (physical orientation). Good. But when \nusing script shortcuts which run in the background the dialogs display in the \nhome screen's landscape orientaiion even if I am holding portrait. Not good \nbecause dialogs appear sideways when I am in portrait orientation.\n\nSUGGESTION\nPlease incorporate some mechanism to allow dialogs to detect and use the \nphysical orientation instead of the displays orientation. If they must use the \nsame orientation as their background then perhaps have SL4A display a \ntransparent window under each dialog.\n\nFrank Westlake\n\n```\n\nOriginal issue reported on code.google.com by `frank.we...@gmail.com` on 28 Oct 2010 at 1:46"}}
