Problem
Setting
Ti.UI.orientation on Android results in a crash.
Expected behavior would be that it prints a depreciation warning and keeps working (and eventually does nothing at all, when it's totally removed).
Note: This works on iOS and has the intended effect.
Test case
Ti.UI.orientation = Ti.UI.PORTRAIT;

In order for me to escalate this ticket to the core team, it must follow the [JIRA Ticket Checklist](https://wiki.appcelerator.org/display/guides/How+to+Submit+a+Bug+Report#HowtoSubmitaBugReport-JIRATicketChecklist) and hence include full details about your environment and a test case that runs without modification, as per the [Creating a Test Case](https://wiki.appcelerator.org/display/guides/How+to+Submit+a+Bug+Report#HowtoSubmitaBugReport-CreatingaTestCase) section. I will close this for now. Please reopen the ticket once it is complete, and I will move it to the main project.
Setting Ti.UI.orientation...
...on Android results in a crash...Expected behavior would be that it prints a depreciation warning and keeps working (and eventually does nothing at all, when it's totally removed). This works on iOS and has the intended effect.Also, I can't reopen this ticket.
Keith Please include all the details about your environment, as per the [JIRA Ticket Checklist](https://wiki.appcelerator.org/display/guides/How+to+Submit+a+Bug+Report#HowtoSubmitaBugReport-JIRATicketChecklist), and then I can escalate this ticket. Thank you
@Opie IIRC isn't orientation read only? (with orientationModes being changeable)
@Paul: You may want to read/bookmark http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_(operating_system)#Release_history; my OSX version is 10.6.8. Ti version is indicated in report. TiStud version is irrelevant but 1.0.6. Engine is probably Rhino since 1.7 doesn't give you a choice. Android 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, tested on our standard test devices: * HTC Aria * Samsung Transform * Samsung Infuse * Motorola Droid 2 * HTC Incredible * LG Optimus T
Note that [Titanium.UI.orientation](http://developer.appcelerator.com/apidoc/mobile/latest/Titanium.UI.orientation-property.html) states that this property is writable. Also, it is set in the KitchenSink script, [orientation.js#L136](https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/blob/master/demos/KitchenSink/Resources/examples/orientation.js#L136). Opie, if the docs need to be corrected, raise a ticket and I will be happy to action it. Thanks
