Orientation issue after using the BarcodeScanner plugin on Android with PhoneGap build

[klemetsson]

Hi,

I'm having an issue with the orientationchange event and window.orientation property after scanning a barcode in portrait mode.

Steps to reproduce:

1. have the device in portrait (window.orientation = 0)
2. initiate a barcode scanning (it will force the device to landscape, triggers an orientationchange and set window.orientation = -90, before starting the scanner)
3. keep the device in portrait and return back to the app
4. window.orientation remains at -90, no orientationchange is triggered even though the device is still physically in portrait.
5. turn the device to landscape (-90), no orientationchange will be triggered as the device already thinks it's in that orientation
6. after this the window.orientation and orientationchange works as normal again

Is there any workaround for this? I have the same issue in both 2.7, 3.0 and 3.1.
