Add this android screenOrientation  landscape  to your  lt activity gt  tag in the manifest for the specific activity that you want to be in landscape   Edit   To toggle the orientation from the Activity code  call setRequestedOrientation ActivityInfo SCREEN ORIENTATION LANDSCAPE  other parameters can be found in the Android docs for ActivityInfo

When you are in android studio 3 or above you need to add following lines AndroidManifest xml file   lt activity             android name   MainActivity              android configChanges  orientation              android screenOrientation   sensorLandscape              tools ignore  LockedOrientationActivity  gt    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
