Changing Orientation for Android Things Activity

Question

I'm currently working on writing an Android Things app and installing it on a Raspberry Pi 3. I have it connected to monitor, but I want to be able to hang the monitor in a portrait orientation, rather than landscape. I've tried adding the following line to the AndroidManifest.xml under activity:

android:screenOrientation="portrait"

However, this doesn't seem to affect how the activity is displayed on the screen. Is there a way to change the orientation to portrait in an Android Things project?

you can do it something like below

After rootView in your java add this line

getActivity().setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT;
For Ex:

View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activityxml, container, false);

getActivity().setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

And also in your manifest change it

 android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden" as 
 android:configChanges="keyboardHidden"

<activity
android:name="com.test.activity"
android:label="@string/app_name" 
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:configChanges="keyboardHidden" >
