As from Android developer guide         orientation  The screen orientation has changed     the user has   rotated the device  Note  If your application targets API level 13 or   higher  as declared by the minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion   attributes   then you should also declare the  screenSize    configuration  because it also changes when a device switches between   portrait and landscape orientations        screenSize   The current available screen size has changed  This   represents a change in the currently available size  relative to the   current aspect ratio  so will change when the user switches between   landscape and portrait  However  if your application targets API level   12 or lower  then your activity always handles this configuration   change itself  this configuration change does not restart your   activity  even when running on an Android 3 2 or higher device   Added   in API level 13    So  in the AndroidManifest xml file  we can put     lt activity             android name   activities role activity GeneralViewPagerActivity              android label   string title activity general view pager              android screenOrientation  portrait              android configChanges  orientation keyboardHidden screenSize               gt           lt  activity gt

For any Android version  From XML  You can specify android screenOrientation  portrait  for each activity in your manifest xml file  You cannot specify this option on the application tag   From Java  Other option is to do it programmatically  for example in an Activity base class    Override public void onCreate Bundle savedInstanceState      setRequestedOrientation ActivityInfo SCREEN ORIENTATION PORTRAIT       For Android 4   API 14    Last option is to do it with activity lifecycle listeners which is only available since Android 4 0  API 14    Everything happens in a custom Application class    Override public void onCreate         super onCreate          registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks new ActivityLifecycleAdapter              Override         public void onActivityCreated Activity a  Bundle savedInstanceState                a setRequestedOrientation ActivityInfo SCREEN ORIENTATION PORTRAIT                         ActivityLifecycleAdapter is just a helper class you ll need to create which will be an empty implementation of ActivityLifecycleCallbacks  so you don t have to override each and every methods of that interface when you simply need one of them

Similar to Graham Borland answer   but it seems you dont have to create Application class if you dont want   just create a Base Activity in your project  public class BaseActivity extends AppCompatActivity     Override protected void onCreate Bundle savedInstanceState        super onCreate savedInstanceState       setContentView R layout activity base       setRequestedOrientation  ActivityInfo SCREEN ORIENTATION PORTRAIT        And extend this class instead of AppCompatActivity where you want to use Potrait Mode  public class your activity extends BaseActivity

You can do this for your entire application without having to make all your activities extend a common base class   The trick is first to make sure you include an Application subclass in your project  In its onCreate    called when your app first starts up  you register an ActivityLifecycleCallbacks object  API level 14   to receive notifications of activity lifecycle events   This gives you the opportunity to execute your own code whenever any activity in your app is started  or stopped  or resumed  or whatever   At this point you can call setRequestedOrientation   on the newly created activity   class MyApp extends Application         Override     public void onCreate             super onCreate                  register to be informed of activities starting up         registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks new ActivityLifecycleCallbacks                   Override             public void onActivityCreated Activity activity                                             Bundle savedInstanceState                        new activity created  force its orientation to portrait                 activity setRequestedOrientation                      ActivityInfo SCREEN ORIENTATION PORTRAIT
