Lock orientation?

Is it possible to lock the orientation of an app???

Yes but only landscape or portrait, you cannot make it so it locks to whichever way the users is holding his phone.

Cool, How do you make it so my app is in landscape only?? I have had a look but I didn't see any settings for that. Thanks dub_boy

Project name -> activities -> select activity -> under details section there should be an orientation option.  But as far as I'm aware this is only acheivable in html section or if you have a website activity.

Cheers dub_boy. Yeah I think it's just in HTML section, could be something Andromo could look into for future updates..

Yes, the orientation locking feature is only available for HTML based activities, mainly to avoid reloading of HTML content. Generally it's not the best practice to lock the orientation. What activity type are you using that you'd like this for?

@darryl: That's right, one of my apps was rejected by Amazon or Samsung (I can't remember which) because I locked the orientation. :-/
