Orientation Change Question

[itspers]

I made nice code that takes screen size in onLoadEngine() to create camera and engine, than create textures based on this size in onLoadResources() and give right positions for elements in onLoadScene(). This works perfect for any screen if it started in portration or lanscape orientation. But how to refresh it on orientation change?

I trying to run this:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Show ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

1.                 this.mEngine = this.onLoadEngine();
2.                 this.onLoadResources();
3.                 final Scene scene = this.onLoadScene();
4.                 this.mEngine.onLoadComplete(scene);
5.                 this.onLoadComplete();
6.                 this.mEngine.start();

when orientation change, seems that it creates new camera and scene with right size, but screen becomes scaled by X. Why this happens if i create new camera?

[liquidair]

anytime the screen is rotated the system will call the method in

GLWallpaperService.java -> onSurfaceChanged();

What I did was I wrote in interface that calls a listener method if not null that trickles the new surface area dims back up to the main LivewallpaperService.java class. Then, I modifed the engine by adding the following to Camera.java

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Show ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

1. public void setCameraWidthHeight(final float pWidth, final float pHeight)
2. {
3.   this.mMaxX = pWidth;
4.   this.mMaxY = pHeight;
5. }
6.

I called this above code within the LiveWallpaperService.java and it fixes the rotation issue or the screen skewing issue

Hi!
I am having the same problem as the OP.
Since the thread has seen a few days, I wondered if there is a built-in solution yet, which I did not find?
Or do you still need to alter the engine?
onSurfaceChanged() is available now for liveWallpapers, but:
camera.setSurfaceSize does not seem to have any effect?
same as engine.setSurfaceSize
scene.scale does not scale the parallax background

thanks

Good question, still looking for a answer to this.
No one solved it? or no one share it?

PS: After many hours of testing, I found a solution (the best I could get).

@Override
public void onSurfaceChanged(int pWidth, int pHeight) {

Log.d("LWP", "onSurfaceChanged(" + pWidth + "," + pHeight + ")");

// ...

super.onSurfaceChanged(pWidth, pHeight);
this.mEngine.getCamera().set(0, 0, pWidth, pHeight); // trick here

}

Don't have any ideia if the set() should come after or before super call.
Seems to work fine in both way.
