How can I prevent my Kotlin app screen from rotating?

Question

I've made a Kotlin app and I don't want the app's screen to rotate. I know that with Java, I can just put

android:screenOrientation="portrait"

in the AndroidMainfest, but how about Kotlin? How can I do it?

Answer 1

In MainActivity you could use ...

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

        **requestedOrientation = ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT;**

Answer 2

AndroidManifest is a .xml file. You don't write Kotlin code in there. So you can still use:

<activity android:name=" example.com.YourActivity"  
     android:screenOrientation="portrait">  //or "landscape"
</activity>
