I’m thinking that your problem is not wether or not the gallery is in landscape mode, but that when Activity returns, and your phone is in landscape mode, onCreate is called again, and you loose some data. In stead of fixing the gallery orientation, try fixing the orientation of your own Activity:

<activity android:name="MyActivity"
   android:label="@string/app_name"
   android:screenOrientation="portrait">

You can find a way here to make persistent initialization, if you don’t want to fix orientation of Activity.
