Question by chetan-rane · Oct 16, 2015 at 11:33 AM · unity 5uiorientationautorotation

need help with autorotation

Hi All,

I want to restrict the orientation using script. For android tablet or iPad, i want landscape only For android mobile or iPhone, portrait mode only.

I used below code to check iPad or iPhone, and everything works fine

         if (SystemInfo.deviceModel.Contains("iPad"))
         {
             Screen.autorotateToPortrait = false;
             Screen.autorotateToPortraitUpsideDown = false;
             Screen.autorotateToLandscapeLeft = true;
             Screen.autorotateToLandscapeRight = true;
         }
         else
         {
             Screen.autorotateToPortrait = true;
             Screen.autorotateToPortraitUpsideDown = true;
             Screen.autorotateToLandscapeLeft = false;
             Screen.autorotateToLandscapeRight = false;
         }
 
         Screen.orientation = ScreenOrientation.AutoRotation;

And for Android, i am using:

 bool isLandscape = false;
 float optionValue = (Screen.width < Screen.height ? Screen.width : Screen.height);
 float screenHeightInInch = optionValue / Screen.dpi;
 
         if (screenHeightInInch < 3.1) {
             // Phone
             isLandscape = false;
         } else {
             // Tablet
             isLandscape = true;
         }
 
         if (isLandscape) // Landscape
         {
             Screen.autorotateToPortrait = false;
             Screen.autorotateToPortraitUpsideDown = false;
             Screen.autorotateToLandscapeLeft = true;
             Screen.autorotateToLandscapeRight = true;
         }
         else
         {
             Screen.autorotateToPortrait = true;
             Screen.autorotateToPortraitUpsideDown = true;
             Screen.autorotateToLandscapeLeft = false;
             Screen.autorotateToLandscapeRight = false;
         }
 
         Screen.orientation = ScreenOrientation.AutoRotation;
 

For Android device also everything works fine. But When i hold android mobile in landscape mode, the unity start in landscape mode and build content also shows in landscape mode. if i hold the device in portrait mode, everything is in portrait mode.

I am doing anything wrong?

I have attached demo project, try to load it on android mobile and make sure you hold device in landscape mode. You will see message "I am Android Mobile, so in Portrait mode!", but the device orientation is landscape.

Why not simply set the option in the Build/Player settings?

These parameters are actually placed in the manifest on Android.

Hopefully if the link still works it contains a method of deter$$anonymous$$ing if its a tablet or phone. Thats step 1 anyway.

You say it works on iOS but not Android. As I stated, device orientation needs to be 'allowed' in the manifest. Check your player settings and your manifest.xml
