Hi,

According to below specification of Z1, it doesn't support orientation sensor(magnatic sensor which give magnetic north of earth).

Thanks colin! Z1 only support acceleration sensor.

I've found the codes to test what sensors the Tizen devices support, and I've paste it in the codesnipper.

Hello,

thanks for sharing this code snippet. And yes, unfortunately, Z1 doesn't support orientation sensor.

Thanks Kim! The result from the test codes is just in accordence with the specification your mentioned.

Hi,
In all native samples there is registered callback:
 

ui_app_add_event_handler(&handlers[APP_EVENT_DEVICE_ORIENTATION_CHANGED], APP_EVENT_DEVICE_ORIENTATION_CHANGED, ui_app_orient_changed, &ad);

This callback is called after orientation has been changed. Maybe it could be enough for your case?

But regarding sensors - only acceleration works on Z1.

Thanks Alex! You reminder me that the application should can be easily to accomodate to the landscape or portait orientation.

In fact, your code is used to register the call back funciton when orientaion changed.

But if we only want to automatically accomodate the app UI to specific orientation, we need add following codes.

 if (elm_win_wm_rotation_supported_get(win)) {
     int rots[4] = { 0, 90, 180, 270 };
     elm_win_wm_rotation_available_rotations_set(win, rots, 4);
 }

Hi,
fyi: I have checked with Z3 it supports acceleration & proximity  sensors.
