How to fix Android Activity Orientation to portrait or landscape

This is the way we can fix the activity orientations.

we can give this in manifest.xml or through code in oncreate method.

In manifest.xml just add this to the activity attribute tag for portrait add this

android:screenOrientation="portrait">

for landscape add this

android:screenOrientation="landscape">

This can be set using code also if you add this line in oncreate() method the activity will set to the screenorientation.

for activity orientation in Landscape add this

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);

similar for portrait

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
