[Android] Transparent window orientation error.

Go back to the portrait from landscape automatically when the device is rotated.

[Phone state]
Portrait > Device rotate by user. > Landscape > Portrait(Automatically)
-> Deleting 'PlayerConfig', does not automatically change the state.

[manifest.xml]
<activity
android:name=".Activity"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
android:screenOrientation="unspecified"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:theme="@style/Theme.Transparent"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustNothing"/>

[Style.xml]
<style name="Theme.Transparent" parent="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar" >
<item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
</style>

[activity.java]
.....
mPlayerView.setSkin("jwplayer_style.css");
new KeepScreenOnHandler(mPlayerView, getWindow());
PlayerConfig config = new PlayerConfig.Builder()
.image(image)
.file(vod)
.advertising(advertising)
.autostart(false)
.build();
mPlayerView.setup(config);
....

Any way to solve this?

I’m not sure I follow your reproduction steps.

The activity config changes need to be in place
android:configChanges=“keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize” >

1. Demo Application: sample app did't works android:screenOrientation="portrait" option.
- check below sample app.

2. Other question: Full screen error on 18:9 screen size
- Works well with 16: 9 screen sizes.
- Please let me know if you have any options to add.

Hi, you’d have to setup a player with a 18:9 aspect ratio and use the following stretching options:
https://developer.jwplayer.com/sdk/android/reference/com/longtailvideo/jwplayer/configuration/PlayerConfig.html#STRETCHING_EXACT_FIT

I think I understood what you want with the portrait orientation. The issue I assume is that when you go fullscreen the player is rotated into a landscape position. This is expected behavior, to avoid this you could extend the DefaultFullscreenHandler and override the doRotation() method. Don’t call super and don’t put any code in the method.
https://developer.jwplayer.com/sdk/android/reference/com/longtailvideo/jwplayer/fullscreen/DefaultFullscreenHandler.html

1. The 18: 9 ratio is supported since version 2.3.0, and I was not currently using 2.2.2. (Thank you. your answer)
I will update the version later. (If i update the version right now, i can not distribute the app because the advertisement does not come out.)

2. I want to set the default portrait mode in the manifest. (Ask again)
I want to control the land and port directly in the program.
Try the sample source link below. Even if you set the default portrait value in the manifest, if the user turns it to the left by the device sensor reaction, it is automatically changed horizontally.
- https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6H1kiIv_HJZRTRnMGFUUEVvVlk/view?usp=sharing

I want to change by sensor response only when playing, and I want to portrait mode when play is stopped.

To handle that you’ll have to use the FullscreenHandler interface:
https://developer.jwplayer.com/sdk/android/reference/com/longtailvideo/jwplayer/fullscreen/DefaultFullscreenHandler.html
