Android Question SetScreenOrientation triggers Activity create

[Shivito1]

I have a button that changes the SetScreenOrientation(0) as well as loads exoplayer. The first time I press the button Activity_Create is triggered and causes the layout to change. This causes the Exoplayer panel not to be loaded.

The second time I hit the button it does not trigger the Activity_Create. Which works perfectly.

I have tried adding an if statement to watch for a value that is set when the button is clicked to force the right panel to be loaded but it is acting like the value was never set????

Sub Button4_Click
    vidon = "1"
    LoadLayoutToPanel("1")
    If 1==1 Then
        player1.Initialize("player")
        sources.Initialize
        sources.Add(player1.CreateFileSource(File.DirRootExternal & "/Download","big.mp4"))
        player1.Prepare(player1.CreateListSource(sources))
        '        SimpleExoPlayerView1.
    End If
    SimpleExoPlayerView1.Player = player1
End Sub

Sub LoadLayoutToPanel (Layout As String)
    If Panel1.IsInitialized Then
        Activity.RemoveViewAt(0)
    End If
    Panel1.Initialize("")
    Panel1.LoadLayout(Layout)
    Activity.AddView(Panel1, 0, 0, 100%x, 90%y)
    If Layout == "1" Then
        p.SetScreenOrientation(0)
    End If
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
    If vidon == 1 Then
        If sources.Size - 1 >= 0 Then
            LoadLayoutToPanel("1") ' Video panel
        End If
    Else
        If List0.IsInitialized == False Then
            LoadLayoutToPanel("selector")
        Else
            LoadLayoutToPanel("mainpage")
            Button2_Click
        End If
    End If
