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

User · Answer

When you are in android studio 3 or above you need to add following lines AndroidManifest.xml file

<activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:configChanges="orientation"
            android:screenOrientation= "sensorLandscape"
            tools:ignore="LockedOrientationActivity">

One thing this is sensor Landscape, means it will work on both landscape sides

But if you only want to work the regular landscape side then, replace sensorLandscape to landscape

One thing I ve not found through the answers is that there are two possible landscape orientations  and I wanted to let both be available  So android screenOrientation  landscape  will lock your app only to one of the 2 possibilities  but if you want your app to be limited to both landscape orientations  for them whom is not clear  having device on portrait  one is rotating left and the other one rotating right  this is what is needed   android screenOrientation  sensorLandscape
