Can we fix the orientation for one imageview in framelayout, and orientation of other children of frame layout be controlled by the sensor?
I want to fix the orientation of image in background and on top of that need to show some reults in textviews. If I fix the activity in landscape then I can't draw the text portrait wise.
You can use separate xml for portrait and landscape mode.
1.you have to create separate folders layout-land, layout-port
2.save the xml in it.
3.Be sure with both have the same name.
You can refer here
Orientation can only be applied on activities,we cannot set the orientation of views.

How do I change the orientation of a LinearLayout when a device changes orientation? What changes would be needed in the *.xml's associated *.kt file?
For example, the device is in Portrait and displays a LinearLayout with a vertical orientation. When the device turns and becomes Landscape, the LinearLayout should have a horizontal orientation.
I imagine that two different layouts would be called depending on the configuration change but I'm not sure.
You need to use separate folders for your layouts : layout for portrait mode and layout-land for landscape mode, and put two separate xml files with the same name in each one.
One of xml files with LinearLayout with a vertical orientation and another xml file with LinearLayout with horizontal orientation.
For instance look at How to Add/Create Landscape Layout in Android Studio
I´ve made an app where´s just some text and a background image.
When I tilt my phone my background image gets streched out..
What I want to do is when I tilt the phone I get now background image.
What you need to do is create different layouts for your views in landscape and portrait mode and put the landscape ones in res/layout-land and the portrait ones in res/layout-port. Simply get your current XML file and copy it into both the portrait and landscape stalks and then just change the drawable that is referenced for the background. That way you can have one that fits well for portrait and another that you've edited to fit for landscape views.
you need to provide a different layout for that orientation.
create a layout-landscape folder, and in that layout change the background to the one you want for your landscape layout. besides you can completely customize your landscape orientation that way.
yes you can change the background
for that you have to create another xml file with same name of the xml you are using right now
then copy all the code from your previous xml to this new xml
you have to create this xml inside the land named folder,if that folder dosent exist than crete a folder name land inside your layout folder..
you just have to change one thing in your xml and here you gooo
android:background="#drawable/yournewbackgroundname"
do not change any thing in our old xml
I want to change some views when the orientation changes for example i want to put text view from bottom of the screen to screen's right side vertically when the orientation changes from portrait to landscape mode.How to achieve it?
Create two distinct layouts with the same name (i.e. mylayout.xml), and put one in res/layout-port and the other in res/layout-land. If you call
setContentView( R.layout.mylayout );
in the onCreate() method of your activity, then Android will select the correct layout depending on whether the device is in portrait or landscape orientation.
I have a ViewFlipper with several ScrollViews inside. Depending on the child ScrollView I need to force the ViewFlipper's orientation to portrait or landscape. How can I achieve this ? Thanks.
Take a look at http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html and http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/HorizontalScrollView.html
In the first document, note that you can provide different layout files for landscape versus portrait modes. For example, for landscape mode, you could have a layout file in res/layout-land.
If you want more help putting the pieces together, just ask.
Edit: It looks like I misread the original question. Take a look at these two posts:
Force an Android activity to always use landscape mode
Android force Horizontal (landscape) layout
I developed an application in portrait mode in Android.
What changes do I have to do, that my application will be also fit for landscape orientation?
Thanks in advance.
Technically speaking, you don't HAVE to make any changes for it to fit to landscape. It you're using the standard wrap_content and fill_parent for your width and height, your layout will automatically adjust when you change orientations.
With that said, you will often WANT to change to a different layout when switching from portrait to landscape, as a layout that looks good vertically may be unusable when horizontal. You can add a new folder beside your /layout folder titled layout-land. In this, make a new XML file with the same title as your previous layout, and then change the layout from there. Be sure that any and all defined android:ids exist in both the original and landscape layout.
Make sure you use layout_width as "fill_parent" where ever required.
