How do I disable orientation change on Android?

Question

I have an application that I just would like to use in portrait mode, so I have defined android:screenOrientation=\"portrait\" in the manifest XML. This works OK for the HTC

In OnCreate method of your activity use this code:

    @Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    this.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

Now your orientation will be set to portrait and will never change.
