How do I disable orientation change on Android?
(13 answers)
Closed 10 years ago.
When I press a button, I would like to disable screen rotation on all my activities. How can I do that?
BTW, the phone can be located in landscape or portrait position when the user click the button.

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

You can change your AndroidManifest.xml to
<activity android:name="MainActivity" android:configChanges="orientation">
Which informs the OS that you will handle these config changes (by doing nothing.)
See How do I disable orientation change on Android?

I've found the solution:
in manifest.xml:
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name" android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" android:name="MyApplication">
in MyApplication.java:
public class UPackingListApplication extends Application {
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
newConfig.orientation = [orientation we wanna to use (according to ActivityInfo class)];
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}
}

Orientation change notification in Android

Trying to follow something. Boiling down to simplest: In my AndroidManifest.xml I have the following:
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:configChanges="orientation"
...
</application>
In my activity that runs I have this:
#Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
Log.d("PrimesAreInP", "onConfigurationChanged called");
}
However when I change the orientation of the phone from portrait to landscape I never see the onConfigurationChanged() print. What else do I need to do to see this call?
Try adding this for activity tag:
<activity android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|keyboard|keyboa‌​rdHidden"
I think you are missing this dude :
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
and not forget to write this line in activity tag of your menifest :
android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize"
good luck !!!

Android orientation change even after locking it in system settings

as in the topic, ive got a trouble with locking screen orientation after its been locked in device's settings. Its a landscape app. Ive read couple threads about similar problem but havent got any revelant answer.
Thanks in advance
Mac
You can add android:screenOrientation="landscape" in your activity tag to specify the mode of screen orientation in your manifest file
<activity
android:name="com.xyz.myapp.SplashActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="landscape" >
Hope it helps .
Add setRequestedOrientation in the onCreate method like below
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
this.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
setContentView(R.layout.homepage);
This would set to landscape if auto_rotate is off, otherwise if would rotate normally as long as it wasn't set to land/port in the manifest.
if(android.provider.Settings.System.getInt(getContentResolver(),Settings.System.ACCELEROMETER_ROTATION, 0) != 1){
this.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
}

Locking orientation to portrait force close in my phone

I want my app to lock into portrait mode. For this I used this code :
<activity android:name="MyActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
>
and in MyActivity class :
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig)
{
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
}
This code work correctly in emulator, but when I install and run in my phone, the app is force closed.
How can I solve this problem?
Yo already use in manifest then there is no need to use by pragmatically. So remove the onConfigurationChanged method from your code.
I am using
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
in the manifest file, no other code in Java side and is working.
I see two problems here:
Remove android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden" from manifest
Remove onConfigurationChanged from java
and it should work just fine

Android backend with portrait orientation

I try to change orientation for android backend but it doesn't change
at all..
I am trying with adding :screenOrientation="portrait" to my
manifest.xml but with no resoult...
Any suggestion how to change my orientation to portrait? Becouse in
default it is landscape...
Michael Bayne helped me on google goups with:
You want to add the following to android/src/.../YourGameActivity.java:
#Override public boolean usePortraitOrientation () {
return true;
}
Thanks Michael
Try setting it in your manifest like this
android:label="#string/app_name" android:screenOrientation="portrait"

Get Locked Orientation

Is there a method to detect if the Auto-Rotation Lock of the device is on or off? My app needs to access that method to lock the orientation during runtime.
Add this in your Manifest file in your activity for the fixed orientation you want for your Activity
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
like
<activity android:name=".Settings" android:label="#string/app_name" android:screenOrientation="portrait">
or in java code you can use
setRequestedOrientation (ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
In iPhone there is a method
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
// Return YES for supported orientations.
return YES;
}
To unlock orientation. if u want to make it lock then change its value (YES to NO) where u want to lock orientation
