Android Solutions
Solution 1 - Android
In the manifest, set this for all your activities:
<activity android:name=".YourActivity"
android:configChanges="orientation"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"/>
Let me explain:
- With
android:configChanges="orientation"
you tell Android that you will be responsible of the changes of orientation. android:screenOrientation="portrait"
you set the default orientation mode.
Solution 2 - Android
In Android Manifest File, put attribute for your <activity>
that android:screenOrientation="portrait"
Solution 3 - Android
There are two ways,
- Add
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
for each Activity in Manifest File - Add
this.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
in each java file.
Solution 4 - Android
in the manifest:
<activity android:name=".activity.MainActivity"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
tools:ignore="LockedOrientationActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
or : in the MainActivity
@SuppressLint("SourceLockedOrientationActivity")
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
Solution 5 - Android
Old post I know. In order to run your app always in portrait mode even when orientation may be or is swapped etc (for example on tablets) I designed this function that is used to set the device in the right orientation without the need to know how the portrait and landscape features are organised on the device.
private void initActivityScreenOrientPortrait()
{
// Avoid screen rotations (use the manifests android:screenOrientation setting)
// Set this to nosensor or potrait
// Set window fullscreen
this.activity.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
this.activity.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);
// Test if it is VISUAL in portrait mode by simply checking it's size
boolean bIsVisualPortrait = ( metrics.heightPixels >= metrics.widthPixels );
if( !bIsVisualPortrait )
{
// Swap the orientation to match the VISUAL portrait mode
if( this.activity.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT )
{ this.activity.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE); }
else { this.activity.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT ); }
}
else { this.activity.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_NOSENSOR); }
}
Works like a charm!
NOTICE:
Change this.activity
by your activity or add it to the main activity and remove this.activity
;-)

Try this: (if SDK 23 & above)
Add your AndroidManifest.xlm
;
<activity android:name=".YourActivity"
android:screenOrientation="locked"/>
like this.
Solution 7 - Android
in new SDk
of android (24 and above)
you can use in Manifest.xml
in activity
tag as you want:
<activity
android:name=".feature.main.MainActivity"
********* android:screenOrientation="locked" ******
android:configChanges="uiMode"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
android:exported="true">
and it work!
Solution 8 - Android
I use
android:screenOrientation="nosensor"
It is helpful if you do not want to support up side down portrait mode.
