how to make android apps only work on screen flipped one way?

Question

I'm making an android app but it works best if the phone/tablet is flipped horizontal.. how do I make the screen lock at that and make it to where it doesn't flip going vertical?

Set android:screenOrientation="landscape" in the <activity> element of your AndroidManifest.xml file.

A quick search through past Stack Overflow questions turns up this answer:

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);

Another option is to only define a activity layout for the landscape orientation. res/layouts-landscape.
