Question

I have an activity that does not rotate on some devices, but does rotate on others.

Specifically it rotates on tablets tested so far, but not on phones. My other activities with the same manifest parameters do rotate as expected.

This view has a viewpager as well as admob ads. Is there a known bug/feature with these layout elements that can override rotation parameters? I don’t have anything saying the orientation should stick to landscape or portrait in the manifest or in the code.

If there isn’t anything known, I can post code later.

Answer 1

The answer is that this theme

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar"

doesn’t allow rotation on certain screen sizes
