Force Landscape Mode/Orientation Android Development

The best way to do this is in your AndroidManifest.xml file. Just right click and open with the text editor in eclipse. Then add:

android:screenOrientation="landscape"

to your the activity that you want to be in landscape mode. Here's what my androidManifest.xml file looks like, sorry for the poor formatting options on Blogger:

<br /><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><br /><manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"<br /> package="com.fanboy"<br /> android:versionCode="1"<br /> android:versionName="1.0"><br /> <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name"><br /> <activity android:name=".RunGame"<br /> android:label="@string/app_name"<br /> android:screenOrientation="landscape"><br /> <intent-filter><br /> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /><br /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /><br /> </intent-filter><br /> </activity><br /> <br /> <br /> </application><br /><br /></manifest> <br />
