[android-developers] Re: In-App Billing forces screen orientation change

Thank you for your interest, TreKing.

The strange thing is the display is of course rotated, but alsoscaled
down in height and untouched in width, so it looks like GL scaling has
been applied.
Nevertheless it might look like a bug or at least an unhandled
behaviour, so I need to get rid of it somehow.

The bug substance and the reason I ask a question here is that my
application is changing its orientation although I think I've done
everything what's needed to protect me against it.
To me IAB implementation is buggy and ignores this setup, not allowing
as well to handle rotations programmatically.

Will try with reporting the issue, but just cannot wait till anyone
address it. Zsolt's solution is not elegant at all, but the only quick
one I can imagine.

Thanks!
