I'm not sure if this is already posted somewhere but still...
What is the reason for not implementing screen rotation (auto-rotation or w/e other terms there is) in the android application? I sometimes tend to read novels during my many travels and one of the biggest thing that annoys me is that the webnovel application does not support screen rotation! When I read I want to see more text per line instead of seeing more lines! Also 95% phone case stands actually hold your phone horizontally on the table instead of vertically! And thus with having no screen rotation support I am forced to read while holding my phone instead of being able to place it on a table!

So what can possibly prevent qidian from implementing this? As far as I know 95% of android development kits natively support screen rotation and it is just a matter of enabling it! If you need help doing it stackoverflow and google has all the info required! Such a simple and native smart phone feature is annoying the hell out of me! Its just a few extra lines of code containing an if clause and a screen rotation event. Since your app mostlikely already supports multiple resolutions based on screen size this change shouldn't take you more then 1 hr to google and implement!

They added screen rotation! /party

However there is still a bug... If you lock screen while in the landscape mode when you unlock it will take you to the beginning of the chapter instead of where you left off... :(

    They added that feature ages ago :thinking:

      More like with the last update ;)
      Or at least with the last update they showed how to access it as the Landscape mode does not hook up to the default screen rotation - you need to manually enable it from text settings.

      Also very annoying that in landscape mode you can not see the menu. For example to adjust text size / brightness you need to exit landscape mode make the adjustment and then re-enter it. Also you can not see the cross reference to jump to a specific chapter :(

        Laov Ah, my bad, I thought you meant entering landscape mode in general, not rotating with the phone's actually orientation.
