Portrait vs. landscape orientation on Android tablets

Group: Forum Members Posts: 118, Visits: 396	Hi again, I've run into a new (smaller) issue when running a batch on Android tablets (link: https://mili2nd.eu/6mbc) and running into some issues on Android, specifically on Samsung SM-T590 running Android 10 (Build QP1A.190711.020.T590XXU3CVG5) with Inquisit 6.6.1. In the batch, there is a demographics survey file which is called first, followed by a test file. The issue is that the demographics survey is presented in portrait orientation (not desired behavior), whereas the test is presented in landscape orientation (as desired). I can't find a setting to affect this and I'm not sure what's causing the different behavior. Would be glad of any input!! A maybe related aside: this issue does NOT occur on a Lenovo Convertible Notebook in Tablet mode.

Do <defaults> / inputdevice = touchscreen / canvassize = (100%, 99%) </defaults> i.e. set a larger width than height, to force landscape orientation for surveys on Android and iOS. Otherwise surveys will run in portrait orientation by default.
