2015-01-21 10:13:55 Michael Zanetti description The MainView offers an api to lock the app to landscape. For games however, it's common to require landscape mode. This is not supported and causes most of the games to show a notice like "Please rotate the device" when in portrait mode which looks not very professional.

2015-08-28 09:22:49 Michael Zanetti description The MainView offers an api to lock the app to portrait. For games however, it's common to require landscape mode. This is not supported and causes most of the games to show a notice like "Please rotate the device" when in portrait mode which looks not very professional. The MainView offered an api to lock the app to portrait. When shellRotation landed, that was replaced by entries in the .desktop file (X-Ubuntu-Supported-Orientations). However, still this isn't really enough for some use cases. For example an app might want to be locked to portrait while showing the main menu, but when displaying certain content enable allowing rotation. For that, there would be the need of an API, similar to the .desktop entries, but changeable at runtime.
