Android Code Snippet Lock Screen Rotation

A friend of mine asked me if there was a way to temporary stop screen rotation and then restore it.

I didn't get into why they needed to do so, but gave them this code I had

Public  Sub LockUnLock_ScreenOrientation(xLock As Boolean)
             Dim j As JavaObject
    
             j.InitializeContext
             j.RunMethod("jLockUnLock_ScreenOrientation",Array(xLock))
End Sub

#If JAVA
 import android.content.pm.ActivityInfo;
 
 public void jLockUnLock_ScreenOrientation(Boolean xlock)
 {
     if  (xlock) {
        BA.Log("**** Lock Orientation");             
        setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LOCKED);
    }
    else {
        BA.Log("**** UnLock Orientation");                 
        setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR);    
    }
 }
#End If

            LockUnLock_ScreenOrientation(True)   ' Lock screen rotation
            LockUnLock_ScreenOrientation(False)  ' Restore rotation and use sensor to determine which way

Seems to work just fine.

Not sure if this helps anyone.
