Packaging a Android native app doesnt respect orientation setting from packager.json

[Amaya]

Sencha cmd version tested:

• 3.0.0.250

Device tested

• Samsung Galaxy sII with Android 2.3.4
• HTC Desiré with Android 2.2

Description:

• Android manifest is not properly generated, since it doesn´t include orientation options described in packager.json.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

• Add this line in packager.json: "orientations": ["portrait"]
• Get the apk running 'sencha app build native' or 'sencha package build packager.json'

The result that was expected:

• Android manifest includes the screenOrientation and the app run only in portrait mode

The result that occurs instead:

• Android manifest doesn´t change and the app switch to landscape mode

Thanks for the report! I have opened a bug in our bug tracker.

Is there a workaround? Can I change the generated android manifest in any way?

I would also like to know a workaround for this.

Just found out how to fix this until an official bug fix is out:

Locate the file: AndroidManifest.xml in the Sencha Cmd folder.
Add the following line to force the application in portrait mode:

android:screenOrientation="portrait"

The line should be inside the activity-tag:

<activity android:name=".STActivity"
			android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"
			android:screenOrientation="portrait"
