In the manifest  set this for all your activities    lt activity android name   YourActivity      android configChanges  orientation      android screenOrientation  portrait   gt    Let me explain    With android configChanges  orientation  you tell Android that you will be responsible of the changes of orientation  android screenOrientation  portrait  you set the default orientation mode

Old post I know  In order to run your app always in portrait mode even when orientation may be or is swapped etc  for example on tablets  I designed this function that is used to set the device in the right orientation without the need to know how the portrait and landscape features are organised on the device      private void initActivityScreenOrientPortrait                    Avoid screen rotations  use the manifests android screenOrientation setting             Set this to nosensor or potrait             Set window fullscreen         this activity getWindow   setFlags WindowManager LayoutParams FLAG FULLSCREEN  WindowManager LayoutParams FLAG FULLSCREEN            DisplayMetrics metrics   new DisplayMetrics            this activity getWindowManager   getDefaultDisplay   getMetrics metrics                Test if it is VISUAL in portrait mode by simply checking it s size         boolean bIsVisualPortrait     metrics heightPixels  gt   metrics widthPixels              if   bIsVisualPortrait                             Swap the orientation to match the VISUAL portrait mode             if  this activity getResources   getConfiguration   orientation    Configuration ORIENTATION PORTRAIT                  this activity setRequestedOrientation ActivityInfo SCREEN ORIENTATION LANDSCAPE                 else   this activity setRequestedOrientation ActivityInfo SCREEN ORIENTATION PORTRAIT                        else   this activity setRequestedOrientation ActivityInfo SCREEN ORIENTATION NOSENSOR              Works like a charm    NOTICE   Change this activity by your activity or add it to the main activity and remove this activity  -
