Current issue(s)
Auto orientation is not fully functional in the BlackBerry 10 Beta2 SDK. However, this application still implements auto orientation and shows how to use it. As a result, the following is an unavoidable issue with the auto orientation of this application at the moment:
- If the video is not playing, on every other orientation change, the screen’s pixels become illegible. This issue is not present if the video is actually playing through the ForeignWindow when the orientation change occurred.
