Can we disable orientation using Test complete.

Question

We are using Android Lollipop Samsung device for testing.

We are able to change the orientation using SetOrientation() with values "0" and "1", Portrait and Landscape respectively.

Is there a way to disable the Orientation so that SetOrientation will not change the orientation the device.

Thanks

Suvidh

Hi,
&nbsp;
I'm not sure that I understand you scenario. Could you describe it in detail?
If you do not want to change orientation, you may&nbsp;just not use the "SetOrientation" method in your tests.
&nbsp;
BTW, there is the "ResetOrientation" method in TestComplete. Perhaps, it will be useful for you.&nbsp;

Suvidh,
&nbsp;
I hope that I got what you are looking for...
You need to disable device orientation, do something in your tested application and check that the orientation is the same. Right?
If my guess is correct, then you may try ShellExecute method provided by TestComplete and execute adb command that will disable automatic device orientation. E.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25864385/changing-android-device-orientation-with-adb

Is this what you are looking for?
