Android App and screen orientation

jusjctin · January 19th, 2012, 03:36 PM

Hi, I was wondering if there was any java code that will allow you to make sure each window in your app stays in portrait despite the user flipping the phone to landscape. I already tried inserting android:screenOrientation="portrait" into both my android manifest and into every single XML file I had but unfortunately only some stayed in portrait and others still flipped to landscape. Please help and thanks!

That is meant to be used within each activity you specify in your manifest.

your manifest should look like this

Code:

<activity
            android:name=".HList"
            android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
        </activity>
        <activity
            android:name=".Info"
            android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
        </activity>
        <activity
            android:name=".MapPage"
            android:screenOrientation="portrait" >

Ooooooh, ok. Thanks! I thought you had to do that in each individual XML file. I will go back and do this in the manifest instead. Thanks Lemoncog and JiMMar!
