created issue #1

Nov 10, 2017 08:36PM

Steps to reproduce the problem (including sample code if appropriate).
- Start a portrait activity (portrait declare on manifest)
- Start a landscape activity (landscape declare on manifest)
- Finish the landscape activity
- Portrait activity is showed again but the orientation start flipping: first in portrait mode, then landscape mode and finally portrait again.

What happened.
- Every time I finish a landscape activity and go back to a portrait activity, the portrait activity goes to portrait, then to landscape and finally portrait mode again.

What you think the correct behavior should be.
- The portrait activity should stay portrait and don't flip every time when I finish a landscape activity.

Android version: 8.1
Android device: Pixel XL

I investigated this issue and I think Surface have problem with this, when I use Modifier.shadow with other composables it works normally

Thanks for filing this.

This is working as intended, since Card in your case have bigger elevation than a TopAppBar.

As you place it in a Column { TopAppBar; ListOfCards }, cards are drawn after the top app bar, and overlap its shadow.

You either need to switch to the Box and compose the TopAppBar after the list of cards Or use Scaffold that handles this order for you Or use Modifier.zIndex (not recommended) to have higher Z index in the top app bar than in the card.

so...@gmail.com <so...@gmail.com> #4Nov 13, 2017 02:08PM

This behaviour is also happening when using views without elevation, like a Box. https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/207323676

The same happens with Nexus 5X(8.1).

Same here, reproducing the bug in some of my apps in a Nexus 5X after upgrading to 8.1. It would be great to have at least a workaround.

Thank you.

lu...@gmail.com <lu...@gmail.com> #12Jan 16, 2018 07:06AM

But if I hide navigation bar，it will not happen.

[Deleted User] <[Deleted User]> #14Jan 17, 2018 06:04PM

We have run into this issue on one of our apps as well. We were able to reproduce on the given barebones project in Github. Mind that the Activities are written in Kotlin but are very simple.

The issue happens 100% of the time on the device we've witnessed it on.

Also affected with Nexus 5X - Android 8.1... Can you provide more information when can we expect fix for this issue?

ma...@gmail.com <ma...@gmail.com> #16Jan 22, 2018 10:46AM

Also affected Nexus 6p - Android 8.1.
I have my firstActivity with no restrictions on orientation, and my secondActivity with landscape orientation restriction.
When i return from secondActivity to firstActivity, firstActivity flips from portrait to landscape and again to portrait.

Any news about this bug?
Thank you

el...@bonnierbroadcasting.com <el...@bonnierbroadcasting.com> #17Jan 23, 2018 02:23PM

I also have the same issue with Nexus 6p - Android 8.1 and Pixel2 - Android 8.1
Exactly as describe above :"I have my firstActivity with no restrictions on orientation, and my secondActivity with landscape orientation restriction.
When i return from secondActivity to firstActivity, firstActivity flips from portrait to landscape and again to portrait."

es...@hatch.live <es...@hatch.live> #19Feb 5, 2018 02:36PM

We're also experiencing the same issue, rotating back after receiving orientation change in the portrait activity sometimes works, but not always.

ma...@gmail.com <ma...@gmail.com> #20Feb 6, 2018 02:32PM

I found workaround for this issue. In "secondActivity" (landscape) I added additional setRequestOrientation in onPause and onResume method:
onCreate(){
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR_LANDSCAPE);
}

onPause(){
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 27) {
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR_PORTRAIT);
}
}

onResume(){
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 27) {
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR_LANDSCAPE);
}
}

cs...@gmail.com <cs...@gmail.com> #47Jun 12, 2018 04:51PM

+1, we are facing this issue as well. It seems that there is a race condition happened when the activity got destroy and 'preserve' the configuration somehow to the later coming Activity (just my guessing as when we turn on debugging and keep following the life cycle step by step, the issue doesn't happen).
Beside of the flipping issue, when from a landscape mode activity calling to start an activity from another package (say open the google map), returning back to the landscape Activity it stucks in the portrait mode (gg map is opened in portrait mode yea).
Android 8.1 with Nexus 6P.. Hope to hearing from gg team soon.

+1 Facing the same issue. It appears to happen more often with a more complex view layout but that might just be coincidence.

to...@gmail.com <to...@gmail.com> #54Jul 20, 2018 11:54AM

Another problem is, solution #20 doesn't work if you have no access to that Activity (if it's part of a framework). Putting this code in my Activity (the portrait one) doesn't work unfortunately.

lu...@gmail.com <lu...@gmail.com> #56Jul 29, 2018 01:18PM

Hello GOOGLE Team

Have there been any reasonable development in this matter ?
We have been using fixed portrait screen by setting the portrait on runtime as well as in manifest. Everything works fine while in context of the app even on android 8, 8.1. Wrong behavior happens right after we leave the app for some external tool like Goodle Docs File browser ( which has other orientation defined ) and come back to our context. App looses all the saved states including orientation setup, title, values, everything done before leaving the context.
This was never the issue of lower than Android 8
And clearly there is nothing to be done expect coding everything support libs are for (once again).

Please at least raise the priority as this is seriously messing up the production apps
Thank you in advance

sa...@gmail.com <sa...@gmail.com> #57Jul 29, 2018 06:50PM

Facing the same issue. I am surprised that almost all the developers, all the products and great production apps are facing the same issue still google is not fixing this small issue. Dear google team, please work on existing issues to make the existing release stable than working on new OS as existing OS is on high priority and most of the users are affected from this. There is no solution of it. Please consider it and solve it on high priority....

er...@gmail.com <er...@gmail.com> #58Jul 30, 2018 05:28PM

ch...@gmail.com <ch...@gmail.com> #59Jul 31, 2018 10:12AM

Facing the same issue. Running smoothly on all versions except android 8.1 version.
Workaround on #20 is working sometimes and fails sometimes.
Dear google team, kindly looked into the issue and update with the solution.
Thanks you in advance.

gr...@gmail.com <gr...@gmail.com> #60May 23, 2019 06:44PM

This problem is happening to my apps on Android 9 and 8.1 devices. I'm locking the screen orientation with super.setRequestedOrientation() in onCreate (on all activities in my app) if the user changes a setting in my app to lock the orientation as either portrait or landscape. I'm not locking the orientation with the manifest. When I tested it on Android 6 and 4.4 I noticed it doesn't do any of the proper animations at all when changing activities when the activity orientation is locked and the device is being held sideways.

I tried the rotation sample included in

. I wasn't able to reproduce this bug on a Pixel 4 running API 29. I also tried to reproduce this on a Pixel 2 emulator running API 28.

Does any one have a better way to reproduce this bug on newer versions of Android?

I was trying to set orientation myself programmatically. However, every screen that opened first opened device default, and then rotated. However, settings the orientation in manifest to 'locked', fixes these animations. However, you do need to be sure to programmatically then setOrientation everywhere. For example in your Application's activitylifecycleCallbacks. Last thing I needed to do was to set my splashscreen activity to sensorLandscape (so that it would not start in portrait, which I don't support).
