Android Tutorial & Lessons 24: Full Screen Activity & set the orientation

Check out the discussion @ my forum for this lesson:

Whats up CornFanz, thanks for watching my videos, I would love it if you subscribe and give me some feedback.

In this lesson you will:
-Learn to set your Activity's orientation permanently as portrait or landscape
-Learn about the requestWindowFeature to get rid of that nasty title
-Learn to set your Activity to fullscreen
-Learn about the and setting up flags
-Bam!
-Some other sweet stuff
-subscribe
-Thumbs up this video ;)

This video is the 24th in a web series that I am creating to help you learn Android programming so you can create apps and eventually how to learn to write games for android phones. I want to explain things in a way that everyone can understand, even if you have no experience with Java, XML, C++, OpenGL, or as a matter of fact, any other programming language.

If you do have a lot of experience with programming, these first videos will be really slow for you, but my goal is to get everyone sprinting, but for now we have learn to crawl.

Great tutorials. I also added some confirmations to the user using the Toast methods you outlined in previous lessons:
Toast working = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Working...", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
working.show();
Bitmap phoneImage = BitmapFactory...
try{

Toast confirm = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Successfully Set Wallpaper", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
confirm.show();
} catch...

tnx a lot dude.. bless you xD

for orientation... you could also use "setRequestedOrientation(0)" for landscape and "setRequestedOrientation(1)" for portrait in your onCreate method :)

@ciken500 in the manifest instead of putting change 'portrait' to 'landscape', i'm guessing that would work anyway

Is there a way to have Android Media Player v 4.0 or higher automatically direct to a specific website in Full Screen as soon as it turns on?

Can someone explain to me why the whole toast thing makes the wallpaper app work?

[VasileSurdu]

woah fuck yeah.. i just added

Toast showtoast=Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Wallpaper Set", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);


at the case R.id.bSetWallpaper: at the end after try/catch and it worked :D
