"orientationchange" event does not fire in Chrome Mobile

[jbrantly@assuresign.com]

REQUIRED INFORMATION

Framework version tested:

• Touch 2.1.0-rc1

Browser versions tested against:

• Android 4.0.4 Chrome 18.0.1025308

Description:

• "orientationchange" event does not fire in Chrome Mobile

Steps to reproduce the problem:

• Run the test case below
• Change the orientation and observe that the alert is not shown

Test Case

Ext.application({
    name: 'ChromeOrientationTest',
  
    launch: function() {
        Ext.Viewport.on({
            orientationchange: function() {
                alert(Ext.Viewport.getOrientation());
            }
        });
    }
});

Debugging Already Done

I believe this bug was introduced in RC1 by this item in the changelog: "Chrome Mobile will now use the Default Viewport". For fun, I changed it back to use the Android Viewport and the issue went away. However, I believe the real fix is probably in the Default Viewport with the code below.

Possible Fix

change
src\viewport\Default.js line 168

if (!Ext.os.is.Android) {

to

if (!Ext.os.is.Android || Ext.browser.name == 'ChromeMobile') {
