refer to this activity-doc. open your AndroidManifest.xml, add this code:

<activity android:screenOrientation="landscape" android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden" android:name="myActivity">

or add this line in your activity class

myActivity.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
