[Bug 1413121] Re: MainView is missing an API to lock to landscape

 

I'm confused. Is this bug about:

1) making it possible for an application to tell the orientations it
supports.

or

2) making it possible for an application to tell the orientation it
would like to be put in (from the set of supported orientations, which
is constant) at runtime.

1 has been solved by the X-Ubuntu-Supported-Orientations desktop file
entry. Only 2 seems to be missing.

Bug 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.
