Rotate View Hierarchy 90 degrees

Question

I am working on a subclass of FrameLayout that is supposed to rotate all of its children by 90 degrees. I am doing this to overcome the landscape-only camera limitation pres

Answer 1

Try turning off children clipping of your view root: call setClipChildren(false) on parent of your RotateLayout and in onMeasure method of your RotateLayout put these lines:

super.onMeasure(heightMeasureSpec, widthMeasureSpec);
setMeasuredDimension(getMeasuredHeight(), getMeasuredWidth());

I'm having basically the same problem as you and I still haven't tested my solution - I'll do it tomorrow and tell if it is working correctly.
