Have your main Activity set for Portrait only mode. Now create a new(second) Activity in your app that shows in landscape mode only, for showing the YouTube video. Each Activity will then be locked and in the proper orientation.

With the Phone library you can change the orientation with SetOrientation.

Best regards.

How do you call the video, is it another application ?
I tested on both my devices, not with a video, when setting a given orientation rotating the device doesn't change the orientation.

Best regards.

Look at the attached sample, no need to use the Phone library, check the Manifest using the manifest editor.

The attached sample have 1 activity in portrait and another in landscape

maybe it does not work because when I call the youtube link , my activity switches in pause and the controls are managed by youtube.
