[android-developers] Re: IMPORTANT - display.getOrientation() does not work on all devices

Well then this is extremely confusing!

Firstly, thanks Mark for taking the time to test it.

The only other thing which could be wrong is how the coordinate system
is represented in each device. I draw to the screen once I have
remapped the coordinate system i.e.:

if(screenOrientation == 1) { // Portrait
SensorManager.remapCoordinateSystem(R, SensorManager.AXIS_MINUS_Z,
SensorManager.AXIS_X, outR);
}
else { // All other send to Landscape
SensorManager.remapCoordinateSystem(R, SensorManager.AXIS_X,
SensorManager.AXIS_Z, outR);
}

However, this shouldn't be an issue should it?
