thanks, do you also know if it is possible to keep the activity locked in this orientation no matter how the device is tilted? — clamp, Nov 25 '10 at 13:51

FWIW to force the activity into a single orientation you can use this `android:screenOrientation="portrait"` in your AndroidManifest.xml on any activities you want to lock. – Brett Duncavage Apr 05 '13 at 02:24
And how to do it programatically, Brett? If I add a "Lock screen orientation" in my settings or menu, it would be nice to be able to do it. – A.Grandt Aug 07 '13 at 07:49
