I want to rotate my app when the landscape mode is activated, and to be fixed in Portrait mode(like a normal app). As I use a fragment manager, I decided to create an init method to programmatically decide to rotate or not my app instead of doing rotation for every fragments. here's the method:

public class ActivityHelper {
    public static void initialize(Activity activity) {
        int orientation = activity.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;
        if (orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
            activity.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
        } else {
            activity.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
        }
    }
}

The problem is that the app always stays in Portrait mode. Does someone have an idea? Thanks in advance

are you recreating the activity? – Marc Laliberté Jan 28 '20 at 20:51
no I pass it from the controller : ActivityHelper.initialize(this); – Ioan S. Jan 28 '20 at 20:52
After you set the requested orientation, I would try `activity.recreate()` – Marc Laliberté Jan 28 '20 at 20:54
doesn't work either :/ – Ioan S. Jan 28 '20 at 21:02
I think you have an issue in your code, i would have a look at this question : [Remove orientation restrictions programmatically](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10829568/remove-orientation-restricitons-programmatically) – Marc Laliberté Jan 28 '20 at 21:06
