Google throws this exception on Activity's onCreate method after v27, their meaning is : if an Activity is translucent or floating, its orientation should be relied on parent(background) Activity, can't make decision on itself.

Even if you remove android:screenOrientation="portrait" from the floating or translucent Activity but fix orientation on its parent(background) Activity, it is still fixed by the parent, I have tested already.

One special situation : if you make translucent on a launcher Activity, it has't parent(background), so always rotate with device. Want to fix it, you have to take another way to replace <item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item> style.

The only thing that worked for me was changing   android screenOrientation  portrait    to  android screenOrientation  unspecified    in the manifest for all translucent activities   That way it is compatible with all API versions since the translucent activity seems to inherit its orientation from the parent activity as of targetApi  28   The style can be left as it is including  lt item name  android windowIsTranslucent  gt true lt  item gt

If the activity created by yourself  you can try this in the Activity    Override public void setRequestedOrientation int requestedOrientation        try           super setRequestedOrientation requestedOrientation         catch  IllegalStateException e               Only fullscreen activities can request orientation         e printStackTrace              This should be the easiest solution

Try remove lines of your theme    lt item name  android windowIsTranslucent  gt true lt  item gt    and   lt item name  android windowIsFloating  gt true lt  item gt    after this  add android screenOrientation  portrait  in your activity

If you haven t resolved your problem just register the ad activity in the manifest like this    lt activity android name  com google android gms ads AdActivity  android theme   android style Theme NoTitleBar Fullscreen  tools replace  android theme     gt    You also need to update to the latest version of the sdk

I recently faced the issue and here s the solution   No need to change the screen orientation parameter which you set at android manifest file   Just add two folders in   res gt values as  res gt values-v26  and res gt values-v27   Then copy your styles xml and themes xml file there   and change the following parameters from TRUE to FALSE    lt item name  android windowIsTranslucent  gt true lt  item gt    lt item name  android windowIsTranslucent  gt false lt  item gt    It will work   A common bug of Android 8 0

User · Answer

If you use a fullscreen transparent activity  there is no need to specify the orientation lock on the activity  It will take the configuration settings of the parent activity  So if the parent activity has in the manifest       android screenOrientation  portrait    your translucent activity will have the same orientation lock  portrait

User · Answer

The only solution that really works    Change    lt item name  android windowIsTranslucent  gt true lt  item gt    to    lt item name  android windowIsTranslucent  gt false lt  item gt    in styles xml  But this might induce a problem with your splashscreen  white screen at startup     In this case  add the following line to your styles xml     lt item name  android windowDisablePreview  gt true lt  item gt     just below the windowIsTranslucent line   Last chance if the previous tips do not work   target SDK 26 instead o 27

this happened after 27 use targetSdkVersion 26 replace  wait for google fixed it

in the manifest file set second activity parentActivityName as first activity and remove the screenOrientation parameter to the second activity  it means your first activity is the parent and decide to an orientation of your second activity     lt activity         android name   view FirstActiviy          android screenOrientation  portrait          android theme   style AppTheme    gt    lt activity         android name   view SecondActivity          android parentActivityName   view FirstActiviy          android theme   style AppTheme Transparent    gt

it seems when target sdk is pie  api level 28 0  and windowIsTranslucent is true   lt item name  android windowIsTranslucent  gt true lt  item gt    and you try to access orientation  problem comes with android oreo 8 0  api level 26  there are two ways to solve this   remove the orientation or set windowIsTranslucent to false   if you are setting orientation in manifest like this   android screenOrientation  portrait    or  in activity class like this    setRequestedOrientation ActivityInfo SCREEN ORIENTATION PORTRAIT     remove form both places   and observed when u set  windowIsTranslucent to true  it takes orientation from parent activity

In android Oreo  API 26  you can not change orientation for Activity that have below line s  in style   lt item name  quot android windowIsTranslucent quot  gt true lt  item gt   or   lt item name  quot android windowIsFloating quot  gt true lt  item gt   You have several way to solving this   1  You can simply remove above line s   or turn it to false  and your app works fine  2  Or you can first remove below line from manifest for that activity android screenOrientation  quot portrait quot   Then you must add this line to your activity  in onCreate          android O fix bug orientation     if  android os Build VERSION SDK INT    Build VERSION CODES O            setRequestedOrientation ActivityInfo SCREEN ORIENTATION PORTRAIT          3  You can create new styles xml in values-v26 folder and add this to your style xml   Thanks to AbdelHady comment    lt item name  quot android windowIsTranslucent quot  gt false lt  item gt    lt item name  quot android windowIsFloating quot  gt false lt  item gt

I used android screenOrientation  behind  instead of android screenOrientation  portrait   Basically  you created a dialog  in an activity  and dialog can t request orientation by itself it needs parent activity to do this  because a parent is visible in the background and has own layout        behind     The same orientation as the activity that s immediately beneath it in the activity stack

It is a conflict  bug  between Themes inside style xml file in android versions 7  Api levels 24 25   amp  8  api levels 26 27    when you have  android screenOrientation  portrait   inside specific activity  that crashes   in AndroidManifest xml   amp     lt item name  android windowIsTranslucent  gt true lt  item gt     in the theme that applied to that activity inside style xml  It can be solve by these ways according to your need    1- Remove on of the above mentioned properties that make conflict  2- Change Activity orientation to one of these values as you need   unspecified or behind and so on that can be found here    Google reference for android screenOrientation    3- Set the orientation programmatically in run time

After doing some research  it seems that this problem may be due to a google bug   For me  I was able to leave this line in my Activities onCreate method   setRequestedOrientation ActivityInfo SCREEN ORIENTATION PORTRAIT     AND I changed my targetSdkVersion to 26   Having that line in my onCreate still resulted in a crash while my targetSdkVersion was still set at 27   Since no one else s solution has worked for me thus far  I found that this works as a temporary fix for now
