How to disable orientation changes for main activity?

Question

I have a relativelayout with a scrollview like this:

<RelativeLayout
 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:layout_height="576dp"
 android:background="@drawable/text_main" 
 >

I want to stop the orientation changes and make it fixed vertical. How can I do this?

Add this to the MainActivity in AndroidManifest.xml:

<activity
...
android:screenOrientation="landscape"
... >
</activity>

There are two ways of doing this

Static

    <activity
        android:name="com.photon.filnobep.activities.ActivitySettings"
        android:icon="@drawable/icon_small"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_activity_settings"
        android:logo="@drawable/icon_small"
        android:screenOrientation="landscape"
        android:theme="@style/MyTheme" >
    </activity>

Pro-grammatically(In your java class)

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

Note: using Static method you still can change Orientation from you java Class
