Use - ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR if you want to rotate screen irrespective of user's choice else use ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_USER. This will only rotate screen if its turned on.

Use setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR), it will disregard the auto rotate option and just rotate whenever your device is rotated.

You can also use

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

//This is the default value
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_UNSPECIFIED);

public static void setAutoOrientationEnabled(ContentResolver resolver, boolean enabled)
{

    Settings.System.putInt(resolver, Settings.System.ACCELEROMETER_ROTATION, enabled ? 1 : 0);

}

As it's shown here http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/sensors/sensors_overview.html you can register your own sensor (TYPE_ACCELEROMETER in this case) and then listen on it's events.

When you calculate that phone orientation has been changed you should programmatically change layout orientation then.

Use this in onCreate of that activity you want to be able to rotate the screen:

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_UNSPECIFIED);

It won't affect other activities or the whole device settings.

I have tried that. It works.
