When I press a button, I would like to disable screen rotation on all my activities. How can I do that?
BTW, phone can be located in landscape|portrait position when user click the button. ...
A:
You can change your AndroidManifest.xml to
<activity android:name="MainActivity" android:configChanges="orientation">
Which informs the OS that you will handle these config changes (by doing nothing.)

I tied the following:1) in manifest:<activity android:name="AboutActivity" android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"/>2) in AboutActivity: @Override public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) { newConfig.orientation = Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE; super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig); }But anyway activity's screen rotates when device rotates. What did I wrong?

You call super.onConfigurationChanges() for orientation changes too, which rotates the screen. Use an if structure to determine if the orientation/keyboard state has changed; you should call super only for other changes.

It doesn't matter whether or not you call super. The configuration change has already happened at the time of this callback; it is just being called to tell you about it.

I seem to recall that the framework throws an exception if you don't call `super` (even if, for this method, it has no particular effect).

A:
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE); setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

If I'd add this line, would it work for all application? or it would work on for the activity?

It seems like it works only for the activity, where I invoke this code and only until I move to another activity (When I returns to this activity, defalut settings are applied).. I think it is no good practice to invoke such code (checking, should we rotate and rotate screen if we need) for all activities in onResume/onSatrt methods

A:
I've found the solution:
in manifest.xml:
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" android:name="MyApplication">
in MyApplication.java:
public class UPackingListApplication extends Application {
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
newConfig.orientation = [orientation we wanna to use (according to ActivityInfo class)];
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}
}
