I have an Android app which has a main activity and 3 Fragments which are tabs. I would like the application to remain in portrait mode at all times but I can't seem to get this working. This is what I have tried, as per another stack overflow post, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong....does it need to be different if using fragments?
<activity
android:name="com.tutorial.test.activities.act1"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Thank you!!
Edit: The ViewPager is on the FragmentActivity for which I am setting the screenOrientation as above.
Try this..
You can try with programmatically.
After rootView in your java add this line getActivity().setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
For Ex:
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activityxml, container, false);
getActivity().setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
And also in your manifest change it android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden" as android:configChanges="keyboardHidden"
<activity
android:name="com.tutorial.test.activities.act1"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:configChanges="keyboardHidden" >
Orientation attribute is per activity so you can declare the orientation for only the activity that contains the fragment so that it is in landscape and the rest of the activities will remain as they are.
getActivity().setRequestedOrientation(
ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
or you can declare in the manifest
<activity android:name=".Control" android:screenOrientation="portrait"></activity>

There is an Activity named PlayActivity which is used to play videos, and I set this activity to use the landscape model by xml:
<activity
android:name=".activity.PlayActivity"
android:screenOrientation="landscape">
Now once I enter the activity from another Activity say it is MainActivity, the PlayActivity will use the landscape model as expected, however once I hit the back button to return to MainActivity, I found that the MainActivity is changed to landscape too, how to avoid this?
Try to put your MainActiviy activity in the portrait, since you can configure the whole application in one direction to customize each one of them to leave an example of how serious greetings.
<activity
android:name=".activity.MainActivity"
android:screenOrientation="portrait">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".activity.PlayActivity""
android:screenOrientation="landscape"
/>
I need to disable splash screen auto rotate.
Need to show splash screen in portrait mode only. But app must rotate with auto rotate. How to do it in android studio ?
Add in Manifest file-->
<application
.........
>
<activity
android:name=".SplashScreenActivity"
......
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
/>
</application>
or for horizontal mode
<activity
...
...
android:screenOrientation="landscape">
In Your AndroidMainfest.xml put the screen orientation to your splash
<activity
android:name=".SplashScreenActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="portrait">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
In the manifest, set this for your splash screen activity:
<activity android:name=".YourActivity"
android:configChanges="orientation"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"/>
In manifest you can set the specific activity to be in portrait mode using
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
Just add below line in your manifest file, in splash activity tag
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
Something like below
<activity
android:name=".SplashActivity"
android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
Add to your splash activity declaration in the manifest this lines:
<activity
android:name="SplashActivity"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize">
Find relevant discussion here.
You Can do it by couple of ways
One
Inside the onCreate method of your activity
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
Two
In manifest file
<activity
android:name=".NameOfYourSplashScreenActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="portrait">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Hope it helps
Add following code to your splash screen activity declaration in Manifest
<activity android:name=".YourActivityName"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:configChanges = "orientation"
android:screenOrientation = "portrait">
or else add
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
to YourActivity.onCreate()
you can find a sample demo file here in github
try this in manifiest
<activity
android:name=".SplashScreenActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"/>
My application is in Landscape mode .. I'm trying to change the Fragment in Portrait view ..
Used the below code to rotate from landscape to portrait ..
getActivity().setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
But the Fragment "onCreate" and "onCreateView" called twice ..
Can anyone please advice on implement Portrait View in Fragment class ? Or advice to how to avoid calling the onCreateView twice ?
In the Manifest file your activity should adds,
"android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
For example,
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="landscape" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Specifically you should add "screenSize" in the Android manifest file. So that your Fragment "onCreate" and "onCreateView" won't be called twice.
Override setRetainInstance. This should solve your problem
I want to keep landscape mode always.
I Lock screen to portrait mode on Nexus7, I set android:screenOrientation="sensorLandscape" and android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"in AndroidManifest.xml, when I go to other activity and back to this activity, then the screen will rotate portrait and rotate to landscape again (Didn't call onCreate method again), but I don't want to rotate the screen in any situations, how to fix it?
I think this is the answere you're looking for:
stackoverflow.com/a/2730894/2249774
For All your Activities in the manifest set
android:screenOrientation="sensorLandscape" android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
Example :-
<activity android:name="com.example.test.testActivity" android:label="#string/app_name" android:screenOrientation="sensorLandscape" android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.example.test.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Repeat this for all activities used in the manifest..
Try editing your AndroidManifest.xml to look like this
<activity
android:name=".YOURACTIVITYNAME"
android:screenOrientation="landscape" />
In your AndroidManifest file, try typing in the following code:
android:configChanges="keyboard|orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize"
android:screenOrientation="landscape"
example:
<activity
android:name="com.gaspar.slinfilipino.Quiz"
android:label="#string/title_activity_quiz"
android:configChanges="keyboard|orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize"
android:screenOrientation="landscape"
android:parentActivityName="com.gaspar.slinfilipino.SignLanguageMenu" >
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
android:value="com.gaspar.slinfilipino.SignLanguageMenu" />
</activity>
I want my app to run in the portrait view so I made the following changes in the android manifest file.
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
It stays in the portrait view for a second and then it closes.. I had assumed this is the only change i had to make..but i also added this but it isnt working
android:configChanges="orientation"
Am i missing something?
<activity android:name=".Menu" android:label="COMEDY TRIVIA"
android:screenOrientation="portrait" android:configChanges="orientation"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="nik.trivia.MENU" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Try this adding android:configChanges to your AndroidManifest file in the activity tag
<activity android:name=".Fourth" android:label="Fourth" android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"></activity>
Hope this works for you.
