I like designing UI on Android but coding is still a pain. Just want it to expand code view to full screen instead of showing the side/bottom tabs when I expand it. It also keeps switching to portrait when I expand (entire godot is landscape outside of this)

You should be able to switch back to landscape when it expands and keep using the full screen code view. We're working on improving the code edit UI for Godot 4.8, so stay tuned! github.com/godotengine/...

It's just one of those things that adds a bunch of steps I don't want to deal with. Currently it's either press 5 buttons just to stay in landscape and have stuff in the way anyway or just not code in Android, so I choose not to code yet. Easier to convert projects to Android compatible UI

I just tested the latest beta and switching the code view to full screen keeps me in landscape, with the option to use it in portrait if I rotate my device. Can you try the latest beta (4.7 beta 4) and see if you still have an issue with automatically switching to portrait?

When you expand the code editor, it switches to portrait because your device's rotation is locked in portrait. You can enable device rotation, or lock it in landscape.
