hi,
I'm working on an app that requires resizing and both portrait and landscape orientation, not a graphics heavy app. so to try and understand how corona SDK handles orientation, I added all the orientation stuff I could find into one spot. you can download the zip file attached so you don't have to enter the code.
you can change your config.lua as desired, rerun and use <ctl><arrow> to change orientation, haven't found the shake indicators yet.
width = 320, height = 480, --scale = "zoomEven", scale = "letterBox", fps = 30,
and the build settings you can change the default orientation. if you are newer to corona, this may help you understand the orientation a little better along with reading the docs, of course...
orientation = { -- Supported values for orientation: -- portrait, portraitUpsideDown, landscapeLeft, landscapeRight default = "landscapeRight", supported = { "portrait","landscapeRight", "landscapeLeft" }, },
I'll try and update it when I get to the shake function and/or when I figure out the zoom idiosyncrasies...
enjoy!
