Force use only portrait xml layout android?
Force use only portrait xml layout android?
i have one xml file called activity_main.xml in both orientation portrait/landscape. The problem is that xml is with same name but tags inside are completly different.
Is it possible to force activity when enter at OnCreate method, based on some criteria to use only portrait mode. Setting screen orientation in Manifest dont work for my situation.
I tried this:
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT)
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
The problem comes when user try to open activity in landscape mode etc phone is in landscape mode before open MainActivity and setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); tried to get activity_main.xml from land folder but i want to get view from portrait, is it possible or my logic is wrong.
MainActivity
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Why you have an xml landscape then? Just dont use it!

You can use the following code to force activity to be only in portrait mode
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

Did you tried before open your activity to rotate device in landscape mode and then to open the activity?

First, I opened another activity in landscape mode after a click I opened this activity (in landscape mode only) but after applying that line of code the activity opens in portrait mode (i.e. opens portrait mode xml)

You can use this function:
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

Create layout-land.xml and its will called Automatically when orientation landspace
Either method forces the direction setting is by use screenOrientation tag in activity tag at AndroidManifest
screenOrientation
AndroidManifest
android:screenOrientation="landscape"
or using next method
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
Nope i write it in my question -. "Setting screen orientation in Manifest don't work for my situation". It need to be setted programmatically.

you can add
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"/>
or if you want your whole app the be portrait instead of re writing the same code for every activity user
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
inside application in manifest
