Add shortcut to rotate screen about scrcpy HOT 13 CLOSED

As a workaround:

# disable auto rotation
adb shell settings put system accelerometer_rotation 0
# use custom rotation (0=portrait, 1=landscape)
adb shell settings put system user_rotation 1

#284 (comment)

from scrcpy.

I just implemented it on branch rotatedevice (eb0f339).

Just press Ctrl+r (or Cmd+r on macOS) to rotate the device.

Feedbacks welcome :)

It is probably not very difficult, but it is quite intrusive (we need to check everywhere the current rotation to reverse width and height).

It's in my (virtual) todo list when I have time (maybe after the "device screen off" while mirroring).

Tested on Pixel 2 and Pixel 4 - Android 10, from macOS Catalina.
Works perfectly! Thanks

Is there a way to put the monitor in landscape while the camera is showing?
I tried the above commands both while scrcpy was active in terminal, and when it was not, and nothing happened when I executed the commands.

Am I missing something, or is the monitor simply not willing to be in landscape while the camera app is open?

from scrcpy.

Some camera apps keep the device in landscape mode (and rotate their icons manually when the device is rotated). This avoids a glitch due to the portrait/landscape switch.

The "solution" is to implement a (manual) client-side rotation in scrcpy.

Aha, that makes sense! Thanks for the fast response!

Is there a simple way of implementing this, or is this something I should just leave be?
I'm just wondering if it is possible to rotate the mirror shown on my desktop some way.

I have absolutely no experience with this though.

Alright! Thanks!

In the meantime I'll just use another app that rotates with the screen.
Open Camera worked really well, for other users having the same issue.

Thanks again!

This would be great to be implemented in next release.

Appart from this it has everything needed to work daily with it.

i added shortcut key for screen rotation
here's the code:
https://files.catbox.moe/c8lz87.c
Place input_manager.c inside project-> app--src folder and build it using
ninja -Cx
./run x

Ctrl+q = Change screen density to 200
Ctrl+w = Reset screen density
Ctrl+e = landscape mode
Ctrl+r = portrait mode

try this first in adb if rotation doesnt work
adb shell settings put system accelerometer_rotation 0
