android - Change Screen Orientation programmatically using a Button

Question

I think this is implementable since screen rotation behaviour can go up to the application level.

Answer 1

Yes it is implementable!

ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);

ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

Refer the link:

Button buttonSetPortrait = (Button)findViewById(R.id.setPortrait);
Button buttonSetLandscape = (Button)findViewById(R.id.setLandscape);

buttonSetPortrait.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener(){

   @Override
   public void onClick(View arg0) {
        setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
   }

});

buttonSetLandscape.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener(){

   @Override
   public void onClick(View arg0) {
        setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
   }

});
