Apps game dev help (screen orientation)

[slick01]

hi

I am working on a game for android at the moment, and was wondering if anyone can tell me how i would change the screen depending on orientation

so if the user turned the phone horizontally then the app would be viewed horizontally if you know what i mean

also how would i make a timer, so if a button were pressed, how would i say stop for 2 seconds and then go to link?

thanks in advance

This would involve using the phones sensors to measure the position/orientation of the phone and change the camera accordingly. Possible using gluLookAt.

Assuming your game UI is happening within an activity, check out Handling Runtime Changes | Android Developers.

If you don't specify otherwise, android apps rotate depending on the sensors by default.
