Android - autorotate to portrait when exiting fullscreen mode

Hi

I'm using JWPlayer on Android and facing the following problem : Exiting the fullscreen mode automatically rotate the view to portrait even if I hold the device in landscape mode.

I'm using a JWPlayerFragment as described below :

mPlayerFragment = JWPlayerFragment.newInstance(playerConfig);
FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.add(R.id.container_mctivity_module, mPlayerFragment);
ft.commit();
mPlayerFragment.setFullscreenOnDeviceRotate(false);

Thx for any help,

Regards.

Hi,

You’ll probably want to implement this interface and handle exiting fullscreen on your own.
https://developer.jwplayer.com/sdk/android/reference/

Else you could use the JWPlayerView and Handle Orientation and fullscreen behavior yourself:

Ok thanks for your reply, even if this is a really strange default behavior...

Well the reasoning behind it is that fullscreen is in landscape, non fullscreen is in portrait. That won’t always be the case so we have the JWPlayerView and FullscreenHandler to allow developers to build their own behavior.
