Android Question Lock screen orientation.

[anallie0]

hi
my app uses position portrait fixed.

#SupportedOrientations: portrait

at the touch of a button I see a youtube video.
is possible to lock the screen in landscape position and when I get out of youtube re-lock the screen in portrait position?
I tried with SetScreenOrientation but does not work.

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.

but the #SupportedOrientations doesn't support in second activity

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

Best regards.

the SetOrentiation doesn't lock the screen. If i rotate the phone , the view of video rotate.

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.
