I have a rather strange situation, first of all, I don’t ever specify anything for the screenOrientation value of any of my activities.
However, when I turn off “auto-rotate screen” in the global settings of my Xoom running Android 4.0.4, my application, and only my application, continues to auto-rotate.
What am I doing wrong? Why does my application continue to auto-rotate?
Finally found what was causing this. I had
in my manifest. Taking it out allows it to honour the user’s setting. It also seems declaring on one activity affects any and all activities launched from the offending activity.
