How to keep a Android app in landscape

Question

I want to know if there was good way to keep my application from rotating, but let it go switch from landscape to landscape reversed?

I've only found this:

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);

How can I restrict my applications to those two states?

You can do it from the manifest thanks to android:screenOrientation="sensorLandscape" since API 9 (http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html) — Gorcyn, Feb 17 '15 at 09:16

Don't wanna say it but RTM !

Here, in your Manifest add this to your activity you wanna let rotate :

android:screenOrientation="sensorLandscape"

Try adding this to your <activity> tag in the AndroidManifest.xml

android:screenOrientation="sensorLandscape"

Or if you want to do it programmatically you can add this to your activity

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.GINGERBREAD) {
        setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR_LANDSCAPE);
    }

have a look here (duplicate)

Force an Android activity to always use landscape mode

You have to define this in the manifest

You just need to do one thing, just put android:screenOrientation="landscape" in every <activity> tag of your manifest file

Just add the following line to activities added in Manifests

<activity android:name=".youractivityName" android:screenOrientation="portrait"  />
