I want my android application to be only run in portrait mode?

Question

I want my android application to be only run in portrait mode? How can I do that?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

In Android Manifest File, put attribute for your <activity> that android:screenOrientation="portrait"

Answer 3

There are two ways,

1. Add android:screenOrientation="portrait" for each Activity in Manifest File
2. Add this.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE); in each java file.
