Android, landscape only orientation?

Question

How can I make it so the screen orientation is always landscape?

Do I need to add something to the manifest.xml?

Answer 1

Add this android:screenOrientation="landscape" to your tag in the manifest for the specific activity that you want to be in landscape.

Edit:

To toggle the orientation from the Activity code, call setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) other parameters can be found in the Android docs for ActivityInfo.
