Mobile App - transform the screen - only vertical view

Hi,
here's my problem:
My mobile application is a game. I wish that the application does not tailor to the position of the phone and was always vertical. Now screen reacts to automatically change (horizontally and vertically) and my app does not look good in landscape view.
I would like to set that when I turn rotate the phone, view the application does not change.
It is possible?
Lilly

In your -app.xml file you can set <autoOrients> to false.

Why can't I fit my AIR app to the screen of the device ??

Hi all,
I've made some apps on device but it's the first time that I can't make the app fit the screen and I really don't understand why.
I've downloaded an exemple of the game Flappy bird and I would like to play with my device.
Can you help me make the app fit the device screen please ?

Yeah, it should. But, weirdly, it's not...

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Can I erase older versions of mobile apps in the mobile applications folder within iTunes folder

Can I erase older versions of mobile apps in the mobile applications folder within iTunes folder without distuebing their running in my iPhone and iPad? Thank you

should be okay.
in any event, if something happens, you can always redownload previous purchases:

HT201401 My iPhone3GS has started crashing. I'll be mid-phone call, or using an app, when the screen will go dark. I have to restart it. Then it shows low battery sign (even though it was 100%). Within 1 minute of charging, iphone starts. Pl. resolve.

My iPhone3GS has started crashing. I'll be mid-phone call, or using an app, when the screen will go dark. I'll have to do a restart. It dumps to the warning screen that there's no power and needs to be plugged in.
Once I connect the phone to a power source, in a couple of minutes it's ready to roll again, and displaying a "full battery" icon.
The phone is almost always fully charged when this happens, and I don't get a crash when the phone is plugged into a power source.
Took my iphone to apple store, they informed that battery is very good and there is no need for replacement. Might be there is a problem with iphone motherboard. But they can't repair it as my 3GS crossed warranty.
Where should I go to repair this. Within 2 years...this 32GB 3GS is almost garbage for me with no support from apple. I am ready to send it to apple for repairs and pay the repair charges.
I tried everything... deep reset ... factory settings .... nothing is working... Apple staff pl. take care of your customers ...

Developing mobile apps for the blackberry platform

Hello all
I'm interested in developing mobile apps for the Blackberry smartphone and read that the best way to do it is with Java. Any advice on how to do this?
I would be starting from scratch as I don't have a programming background but am keen to learn. Also can anyone recommend any introductory books that are really good at learning Java?
Many Thanks
praetor

Hi praetor,
welcome to the SDN.
Programming for a mobile device is sort of advanced and you need to know the basics first. As you have no programming background this is even more important.
Do yourself a favor and forget about the blackberry for a few months and learn programming basics first.
Here are a few links to get you started with the Java SE (Standard Edition, for your local PC, nothing fancy):

Iphone seems to be working but only shows apple logo, itunes sees the phone normally, when i restored it appeared successful and itunes tried activating my phone but the screen only shows apple logo nothing else???

my iphone is detected in itunes as normal, but screen on the phone only shows apple logo??? restored and everything but no difference its weird, it restores successfully and stuff but once done the screen only shows apple logo.. note:while restoring everything goes through as normal on the phone it shows the bar loading etc.. but once complete just stays on apple logo.

It can take a few minutes to reinitialize, but if it stays on the Apple logo for as much as 10 minutes there is something seriously wrong. Try restoring again, and set up as a new phone rather than installing your backup. If this fixes it you have a corrupt backup. If this doesn't fix it the phone is broken. Or possibly jailbroken.

I have a macbook pro 10.6.8. The screen displays vertical grey lines how do i fix it?

I have a macbook pro 10.6.8. The screen displays vertical grey lines. I tried Crtl.command.eject... Did not work. I tried Command.crtl.p.r. way; Didnt work. What is wrong with my mac and how can i fix it?

NVRAM reset is command, option, P and R.
Restart the computer and immediately hold the four keys down. Keep holding the keys down, and let the Mac chime three times, then release the keys. Be patient it could take some time.
That being said what you describe may be a hardware issue, so the NVRAM reset probably won't work.

- Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then download/install new app.

My daughter dropped her sister Ipod gen 4 32Gb and now the screen only comes up with a white screen. What should I do?

If you have an Apple Store near you, take it there and have them check it. If you don't, I would send it in for service.

TS1702 I am trying to download and app but the screen froze at the end where it said ready to download and I was required to press OK

I am trying to download an app. but the screen on my iphone 4S has frozen when I reached the screen saying it was ready to download and I was
seeing an "OK" button to press. Nothing happens and I can't get out of the screen. When I shut off the phone and cut it back on and go to "apps"
the frozen screen appears again. Any help???

Have you had an issue with a previous purchase from iTunes or has your credit card expired? Even though it is a free app, you may have to update your payment information, since you already have a credit card on file. They have to be updated in iTunes.
If none of that applies, try signing out, Restrt and sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.
if that doesn't work, you may have to contact iTunes Store Support and seek their assistance.

one fine day yesterday, my i phone just hangup lost all contact detail. The screen only show a picture depicting cable connection to iTune. I have tried to restore iphone to factory setting but not working . May i know how to proceed to recover lost contacts.

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

My IPad has one half of the screen with vertical multi colored stripes and the other half is normal. Has anyone had this problem and if so is there a solution?

You could have a hardware issue, but try this and see if it helps.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
