There are 2 things here that should be taken into account. First, this

android:screenOrientation="landscape"

has no effect if in the java code there is something like this:

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

Then, there is this other method that could be bothering you:

mCamera.setDisplayOrientation(90);

This would rotate your camera preview.

Hope this helps!
