Android - Vertical layout only

Question

How do I make sure my app is only for vertical layout?
I added this android:screenOrientation="portrait" but that doesn't seem to do the trick.

Answer 1

That is "the trick", if by "the trick" you want to ignore orientation changes and always be set for portrait orientation. See this sample project that demonstrates the technique.

Answer 2

You need to add to all your activity not for one only. I think you understood that setting is per application wide, but it isn't.

android:screenOrientation="portrait"

Answer 3

Add android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" to the activity.

Answer 4

Just to confirm Pentium10's answer. I was having a similar issue and adding android:screenOrientation="portrait" to the tag did the trick for me.

Answer 5

android:orientation="vertical" put this attribute in layout root,try it it may help.
