eg: an application may be freely rotated "X-Ubuntu-Supported- Orientations=portrait,landscape" but while it's displaying a fullscreen video, for instance, it will want to be put specifically in landscape.
The game example in the bug description is solved by adding "X-Ubuntu- Supported-Orientations=landscape" to its desktop file, as kalikiana said. So if this bug is about item 2 from comment #9, its description should be rewritten. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to qtubuntu in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1413121 Title: MainView is missing an API to lock to landscape Status in QtMir: Confirmed Status in qtubuntu: New Status in qtmir package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in qtubuntu package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu: New 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.
