You just need to add this code in your manifest file

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

screenOrientation = "landscape" is force screen to landscape

@MohammadRezaMajidPour what do you mean by "put the phone in reverse" and "reverse patriot"? I do not know what these are. – Code-Apprentice Nov 06 '16 at 08:47
@MohammadRezaMajidPour Are you using google translate? – Code-Apprentice Nov 06 '16 at 08:48

@MohammadRezaMajidPour Instead of "patriot" the word you want is "portrait". Also if you write "sensorPortrait" instead of "sensor portrait" it is clear you are using a variable name instead of regular words. – Code-Apprentice Nov 06 '16 at 08:56

To dynamically change the orientation of the activity, call the setRequestedOrientation(int) method. More info on the method can be found here.

The int argument sent in method can be changed and fixed. The relevant values for the same can be found here.

For preventing the rotation of your activity, you can also set the orientation in your onCreate. It checks your orientation and if it's LANDSCAPE it will change it.

Example:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.your_layout);
  if(getResources().getConfiguration().orientation ==
        Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE){
    setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
  }
}

Take a look at this document, it explains each property in your AndroidManifest.xml. https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html

How to use sensorportrait?

These Properties are defined in your AndroidManifest.xml file.

android:screenOrientation=["unspecified" | "behind" | "landscape" | "portrait" | "reverseLandscape" | "reversePortrait" | "sensorLandscape" | "sensorPortrait" | "userLandscape" | "userPortrait" | "sensor" | "fullSensor" | "nosensor" | "user" | "fullUser" | "locked"]
source code for disable rotate?

In your AndroidManifest.xml file, where you define "activity", u set orientation you support as defined above.
fix layout in landspace?

You can have different layout for your activity in landscape mode. for this simply create layout-land folder parallel to layout folder in res. e.g. if you have activity_main.xml in layout folder, create another activity_main.xml in layout-land folder. You can move stuff around as you wish. Note: I would reccomend you take a look at Fragments, this might help you on what you are trying to achieve. https://developer.android.com/guide/components/fragments.html
