How to Lock Android App’s Orientation to Portrait in Phones and Landscape in Tablets?

by

You just have to define the property below inside the activity element in your AndroidManifest.xml file. It will restrict your orientation to portrait.

android:screenOrientation=”portrait”

Example:

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

if you want this to apply to the whole app define the property below inside the application tag like so:

        <application>
         android:screenOrientation="sensorPortrait"
        </application>

Additionaly, as per Eduard Luca’s comment below, you can also use screenOrientation="sensorPortrait" if you want to enable rotation by 180 degrees.
