Overview

This code snippet shows how one can have their application screen (ui) to be locked to a particular orientation (landscape or portrait mode)

In your Project profile &#40;.pro&amp;#41; file

You must add the cone.lib, eikcore.lib, and avkon.lib Symbian libraries into the Qt for S60 build for orientation handling.

symbian: {<br /> // Define UID3 for the Symbian app.<br /> // In Qt Creator this is asked when creating an application using Mobile template.<br /> TARGET.UID3 = 0xSOMEUID<br /> // cone.lib, eikcore.lib and avkon.lib Symbian libraries<br /> LIBS += -lcone -leikcore <s>lavkon<br />}


In your main.cpp file


#include &lt;QtGui/QApplication&amp;gt;<br />#include &quot;SomeMainWindow.h&amp;quot;
<br />// Needed Symbian specific headers<br />#ifdef Q_OS_SYMBIAN<br />#include &lt;eikenv.h&amp;gt;<br />#include &lt;eikappui.h&amp;gt;<br />#include &lt;aknenv.h&amp;gt;<br />#include &lt;aknappui.h&amp;gt;<br />#endif
<br />int main(int argc, char '''argv[])<br />{<br /> QApplication a(argc, argv);
<br /> SomeMainWindow w;
<br /> // Symbian specific code<br /> #ifdef Q_OS_SYMBIAN<br /> CAknAppUi''' appUi = dynamic_cast&amp;lt;CAknAppUi*&gt; (CEikonEnv::Static()</s>&gt;AppUi());<br /> TRAPD (error, 
    if (appUi) {<br /> // Lock application orientation into landscape<br /> appUi-&gt;SetOrientationL(CAknAppUi::EAppUiOrientationLandscape);<br /> }<br /> );<br /> #endif

w.showFullScreen();<br /> return a.exec&amp;amp;#40;&amp;#41;;<br />}
Note

In the latest Qt Creator you get an option to lock the orientation as a part of the application creation wizard.
