Description

Orientation does not change When orientation modes property set on Window inside TabGroup.

var tabGroup = Titanium.UI.createTabGroup();
 
var win1 = Titanium.UI.createWindow({  
    title:'Tab 1',
  orientationModes: [Titanium.UI.LANDSCAPE_LEFT]
});
var tab1 = Titanium.UI.createTab({  
    title:'Tab 1',
    window:win1
});
 
var win2 = Titanium.UI.createWindow({  
    title:'Tab 2',
  orientationModes: [Titanium.UI.PORTRAIT]
});
var tab2 = Titanium.UI.createTab({  
    title:'Tab 2',
    window:win2
});
 
tabGroup.addTab(tab1);  
tabGroup.addTab(tab2);
 
tabGroup.open();

*Steps to reproduce:* 1.Copy Paste the code on app.js and run the app. 2. Click on Tab2. Expected Result: 1. App opens in landscape mode, having two tabs sharing 50 % width. 2. App opens in portrait mode, having two tabs sharing 50 % width. Actual Result: 1. App launches in portrait mode. 2. Tab 2 gets actives and app remains on portrait mode. Window's orientation modes does not gets changed. Not a regression. Working fine for iOS

3.4.0 is moved forward, and 3.5.0 is taking its place in the calendar.

In Android, orientation is associated with the activity but tab windows doesn't have its own activity and setting orientationmodes for tab windows doesn't have any effect.

I was able to control the orientation change using the below code:

   var self = Ti.UI.createTabGroup();
   
   var activity = self.getActivity();
   		  if(activity)
   		  activity.requestedOrientation = Titanium.Android.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT;

This is not considered to be a good UX design. For those interested in utilizing this functionality, we suggest using the workaround.
