Comment (by erikb):

 Replying to [comment:1 jg]:
 > Erik, while I agree with your premise that there should be some way for
 applications to provide this hint, I personally think that the camera
 activity should think about rotation and proper use by just buttons,
 particularly in ebook mode.  What is more, you should always think about
 using the space you are given, rather than fixed sizes; your application
 may be used in other environments than Sugar some day.

 Record uses dynamic layout managers, so were the video to be visible when
 rotated, things should layout okay.

 The problem is that video isn't displayed when in rotated modes, so there
 is a need for activities to know that they don't have any video to
 display,and either request to rotate back or to let the user know they
 need to rotate back.
