Android: Disable rotations by 90°, but enable rotations by 180°

Question

I would like to create an Android app (for a tablet) that should be only displayed in landscape orientation, e.g. the app should ignore rotations by 90°, but support rotatio

Answer 1

The new sensorLandscape screen orientation is apparently meant for this purpose.

Eg, you could do:

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR_LANDSCAPE);

Unfortunately, this is only available as of Android 2.3. I'm currently looking for a way to achieve this on Froyo.
