Using Portrait Mode
This feature is in its beta phase.
This guide shows how to turn on the portrait mode and explains how it works.
Turn on Portrait Mode
You can turn on the portrait mode on the menu bar or using the special key on the bottom of the RCU.
On the menu bar
On the menu bar, select Action > Orientation > portrait.
Using the special key
On the bottom of the RCU, click portrait.
You cannot select reversed_landscape and reversed_portrait on the RCU. Go to the menu bar to use those modes.
How Portrait Mode Works
When the portrait mode is turned on,
- webOSSystem.screenOrientation is changed, and
- A screenOrientationChange event occurs.
Even if the orientation is changed to portrait, the orientation of the Simulator itself does not change.
If an app requests change of orientation using webOSSystem.setWindowOrientation, the orientation of the actual app layout changes. For more details about the portrait mode, see Portrait Mode.
