Description
The Tablet Orientation Interface Asset enables an Intuiface experience to retrieve information about the orientation of an Android tablet using the tablet's gyroscope.
Note:
- Understandably, this interface asset will not provide any information at design time in Intuiface Composer. You have to test it using for Android. Please read this article for a look at how to quickly test an experience on Android tablets.
- Intuiface cannot differentiate between portrait and reverse portrait, nor between landscape and reverse landscape. In both instances, the pair are recognized as the same orientation.
Properties, Triggers & Actions
Properties
All of these properties are read-only properties, meaning you will only see them in a binding panel.
- Alpha angle: the direction indicated by the tablet's compass, in degrees.
- Beta angle: the front-to-back tilt - where front is positive - in degrees
- Gamma angle: the left-to-right tilt - where right is positive - in degrees
- Is landscape: true if the tablet is in landscape mode.
- Is portrait: true if the tablet is in portrait mode.
- Is flat: true if the tablet is detected as "flat", e.g. laying down on a table.
Definition of alpha - beta - gamma angles:
Triggers
Orientation Changed
- Entered flat orientation: Raised when the tablet is rotated into a flat orientation (e.g. laid down on a table).
- Left flat orientation: Raised when the tablet is rotated away from a flat orientation (e.g. lifted from a table to be read).
- Landscape orientation detected: Raised when landscape orientation is detected.
- Portarit orientation detected: Raised when portrait orientation is detected.
Orientation errors
- Error message received: Raised when an error message is received. For example, when the gyroscope of the table isn't available.
- Error Message: this parameter contains the raised error message.
