Programmatically lock into portrait mode for certain operations

Question

Is there a way to programmatically lock an app in portrait mode for certain operations, and then resume (and have the app rotate to landscape if the user is holding the device that way) after the operation is complete?

Answer 1

Try this:

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT); //Do your operation setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR);
