Force the screen to a fixed landscape orientation:

AndroidManifest.xml -> android:screenOrientation="landscape" OR setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);

Set deviceOrientation_ to CCDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft with Director.sharedDirector().setLandscape(true);

-> winSize() will switch height and width whichs results in strange display behavior.

Workaround: Director.sharedDirector().setLandscape(false);

But this is a little bit confusing :-)

It seems that Director takes over the device orientation, so developers should not call setRequestOrientation directly?

But in file Director.java, function setDeviceOrientation doesn't call setRequestOrientation at all. Seems not the same compared to cocos2d-iphone.

Hi Christoph, I think we have resolved this problem in our latest cocos2d-android, ported from 0.99.4. Just set the screen orientation in the activity's onCreate, and then everything should work as expected.

  I didn't yet submitted the latest changelist. Please wait until the next Monday.

Just check out http://github.com/ZhouWeikuan/cocos2d at that time.

Thanks, Weikuan Zhou
