Android App Landscape Only

Question

I want to make my App landscape only, so I am using the method provided here: i want to make my application only in landscape in android

In short, I am adding android:screenOrientation="landscape" to my manifest file.

It is partially working, but the problem is that it only allows the user to use the app in one of the two landscape orientations. How can I tell the app that it is allowed to use either of the landscape orientations?

(testing on Nexus 7 4.2)

Answer 1

Use android:screenOrientation="sensorLandscape" but it will work only if you are building your project on Android 2.3 or above.

Answer 2

android:screenOrientation has several options you can find in the documentation

What you probably want is

• "sensorLandscape"
  Landscape orientation, but can be either normal or reverse landscape based on the device sensor. Added in API level 9.
