Is any chance to disable screen rotation (allow only vertical)? I would like to support only portrait view. And need it to work on android and ios.

  • If using CRNA apps, use the `app.json` file to set `orientation` as either potrait or landscape. See here for more details: https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/workflow/configuration#orientationlock-your-app-to-a-specific-orientation-with-portrait-or-landscape-defaults-to-no-lock-valid-values-default-portrait-landscape – Ankit Kante Apr 11 '18 at 09:36

Add screenOrientation in your Manifest.xml class

<activity android:name=".YourActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="portrait" />

In android :-

using xml :-android:screenOrientation="portrait"

using java :- 

@Override 
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
}

Winner: chuck this in the app code, I usually drop it right after all my imports.

Expo.ScreenOrientation.allow(Expo.ScreenOrientation.Orientation.PORTRAIT);

Have a look at Android's official documentation

You just have to add this to your activity tag in your android MANIFEST file : 

<activity 
  android:screenOrientation=["unspecified" | "behind" |
    "landscape" | "portrait" |
    "reverseLandscape" | "reversePortrait" |
    "sensorLandscape" | "sensorPortrait" |
    "userLandscape" | "userPortrait" |
    "sensor" | "fullSensor" | "nosensor" |
    "user" | "fullUser" | "locked"]

using the orientation that you want.

Try to add this in config.xml

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