|
13 <p>Whenever the orientation of UI is changed, all applications rotate 90 or |
|
14 270 degrees (not only the foreground application). By default, the UI does |
|
15 not rotate automatically to any other orientation while opening or closing |
|
16 an application, swapping to another application, or in the case of embedded |
|
17 applications or seamless task flows. In addition, the UI should not change |
|
18 its orientation when another view within an application is opened.</p> |
|
19 <p>Applications that support only one orientation, and thus trigger automatic |
|
20 orientation switch, do not change the orientation of other applications. That |
|
21 is, if the orientation is ’portrait’ before launching a ’landscape-only application’, |
|
22 it is portrait even after exiting it. </p> |
|
23 <p>An exception to this rule is for the applications that are launched from |
|
24 the landscape application itself (for example, the <b>Go to gallery</b> option |
|
25 in the Camera application) or embedded within the application (for example, |
|
26 the embedded Browser within an image editor when downloading content). In |
|
27 these cases, one orientation should remain throughout the task flow, and the |
|
28 original orientation should be returned only after exiting the application |
|
29 that triggered the rotation.</p> |
|
30 <p>No queries or notes are recommended to inform or ask the user about rotation.</p> |
