I am developing an application where I need to take snapshot in portrait. But portrait mode is supported only in 2.2. So I was thinking would it be a good workaround to follow these steps.
1. Design the capture image activity such that all options are to the right most of screen and vertical
2. Now force the activity to run in landscape mode so that all options are arranged to the bottom of screen.
So as per application it'l be like in landscape mode but user feels like in portrait mode. Then rotate image by 90 deg to get portrait image. Is this a good idea ? Any other alternative present ?
