SCREEN_ORIENTATION_REVERSE_PORTRAIT is correct?

Question

Well I'm trying to add a lock orientation button, but when I call

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_REVERSE_PORTRAIT);

the screen goes to normal portrait. What am I doing wrong?

public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {

    x = event.values[0];
    y = event.values[1];
    z = event.values[2];

    orientation.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            if (x > 5){
                setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
            } else if (x < -5){
                setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_REVERSE_LANDSCAPE);
            } else if (y > 5){
                setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
            } else if (y < -5){
                setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_REVERSE_PORTRAIT);
            }
        }
    });
}

altough not exactly what you want, it has some interesting code snippets http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6599770/screen-orientation-lock — F43nd1r, Mar 29 '16 at 15:03

Well I solved it changing

android:targetSdkVersion="15"

to this

android:targetSdkVersion="11"

in the manifest, I don't really think that this was the problem, but now its working. Just wanted to post it in case anyone have the issue.

It looks like the SDK have some bugs then – Rotary Heart Nov 01 '14 at 01:26
Same issue for me, but changing targetSdkVersion didn't do it. Running KitKat. – Vas Jan 23 '15 at 19:45
Check if your device have any settings to enable that orientation. – Rotary Heart Jan 24 '15 at 20:17
