I am not sure I understand the comment on what is mildly confusing. In summary, if in Landscape, I want it to stay in Landscape while doing a particular task. If in portrait, I want to stay in portrait for that same task. It all depends on how they started the task. What was happening was when in landscape (on my phone), setting autoorients=false changed it to portrait (likely the default orientation for phones). I would have expected that it would just stop changing orientation from then on but it doesn't seem to work that way. I did fix it using stage.setAspectRatio(stageAspectRatio.LANDSCAPE). The reason it didn't work the first time is because I kept the statement autoorients=false in there. If you set it to Landscape with autoorient still true (from app descriptor), it will only autoorient to landscape and landscape upside down. Then when I want to rotate again with portrait (post task completion), I just used the stage.setAspectRatio(stageAspectRatio.ANY). Anyway, appreciate the speedy responses.
