Activity Screen Rotation/Orientation

by Unknown 1:11 AM 0 comments

I was working on an app that I didn't want the activity page to rotate horizontally even if the user flips his/her phone around. So this is the code and steps I used to stop the screen from rotating/changing its orientation, however you want to call it :

1. Open AndroidManifest.xml
2. Inside AndroidManifest.xml find the activity of the screen that you don't want to rotate even if the user flips the phone:

<activity 
            android:name="com.example.MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name"

            />

3. Add this line ->   android:screenOrientation="portrait"

<activity 

            android:name="com.example.MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name"

            android:screenOrientation="portrait"

            />
