Setting the orientation for only 1 fragment in my activity while the rest is in portrait

Question

My app needs to be in portrait mode so I set it in the manifest by:

android:screenOrientation=\"portrait\"

But I just recently added anothe

Answer 1

This is old question but answering this just incase anyone wanted the solution as the OP needed. The simple way to achieve this is as follows.

public class LandscapeFragment {

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {

       getActivity().setRequestedOrientation(
              ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
    }

   @Override
   public View onDestroyView() {
       super.onDestroyView();

       getActivity().setRequestedOrientation(
             ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

}

Then extend this LandscapeFragment from any of your fragment to which you want to launch it in landscape mode.
