    <p>I have specified my Activity should be fixed to landscape, which works most of the time. <strong><em>Specifically, when the Activity is already running, and I launch a new instance of it from Eclipse</em></strong>, the Activity starts in Portrait and immediately changes to Landscape--but not before the View has already been told it was Portrait. <strong><em>So my View is initialized as Portrait, but gets a surfaceChanged immediately.</em></strong></p> <p>I have the following specified in my manifest:</p> <pre><code> &lt;activity android:screenOrientation="landscape" android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden" </code></pre> <p>I have also tried:</p> <pre><code>setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE); </code></pre> <p>When I was targeting API level 7, I believe this worked fine. Now I target API level8, and a strange quirk has appeared.</p> <p>In the oncreate method, the value of:</p> <pre><code>getResources().getConfiguration().orientation </code></pre> <p>is:</p> <pre><code>Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT </code></pre> <p>Immediately after creating the Activity, the orientation is changed to Landscape, I receive a <code>surfacechanged</code>, and I can "fix" everything. But why is it ever portrait?</p> <p>I suspect it has to do with the fact that the application is autorotated as it launches from a portrait screen. It seems bizarre that the application, which has been instructed to NEVER be in portrait, starts that way, and then quickly changes.</p> <p>But, is there a way to not allow it to ever be in portrait?</p> <p>I put this in my Activity's <code>onCreate</code>:</p> <pre><code>while (getResources().getConfiguration().orientation != Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) { setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE); } </code></pre> <p>This resulted in it getting stuck there forever :)</p>

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
