Hi i am developing android application in tablet version. Here i am facing problem with orientation so i want to make my application in portrait mode only. For that i Used attribute like below snippet for each and every activity in my application.

android:configChanges="keyboard|orientation|keyboardHidden"
            android:screenOrientation="portrait"

Application is running perfectly while testing in portrait mode. But it is not good while testing application with tablet physical position with landscape. It is first going to landscape then immediately going to portrait.

I used programmatically making the activity in portrait but no effect. Please provide me any help.
Here is my programmatic orientation fix 

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

I tested in Motorolo device

Please suggest me to avoid my application going to landscape.

    Finally i find the reason why orientation changes are occurring in android tablet. In ICS (version 4.0+) the tablet have the option like “Don’t keep activities” in settings>> Developer tools>>

    If the user checked that option the paused activity will killed and created when it is call again. what i mean the activity won’t go for onPause() state it will go for onDestroy() and it will created again when press on back key. So the orientation behavior is different.
    I did not get the idea how to handle it from our android code
