I'm trying to set the orientation to landscape in my phonegap application. I don't know anything about java, so I don't use AndroidManifest.xml file in my project since it's generated when I type the command sudo phonegap run android which I never uses.

When I finish my html files, I upload them to my account on build.phonegap.com and the website does the rest of work(building the apk from my html,css&js files).

The only xml file that I change is config.xml file. I change the orientation mode in it. 

<preference name="orientation" value="landscape" />

and I have the following meta tags In my project

<meta name="description" content="">
<meta name="keywords" content="">
<meta name="HandheldFriendly" content="True">
<meta name="MobileOptimized" content="320">
<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=yes, width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<meta http-equiv="cleartype" content="on">

The problem is that the orientation doesn't become landscape only when I install the game on my device. Is there something that I miss?

  • How is your folder structure when you're compressing the files to upload to bulild.phonegap.com? – Jose Rojas Jan 17 '16 at 03:13
