I have created an app with multiple tabs, each with its own layout. I have shut down response to the accelerometer to keep the app in portrait mode (android:screenOrientation=”portrait”).

Two of the tabs are designed in portrait mode, and one tab is designed in landscape mode. I need to take advantage of the fact that the screen is wider than it is high in landscape to display a mini spreadsheet.

Here is my question: How do I orient one of the tabs to landscape, while leaving the other two in portrait mode?

Any suggestions?

    I found a solution outside of the tab-set. The following link discusses multiple solutions for displaying Vertical text:

    Vertical (rotated) label in Android

    I went with “CustomTextView” by PocketMagic which can be found here: http://www.pocketmagic.net/?p=1625

    With the ability to display vertical text, I can keep the entire tab-set locked in Portrait mode.

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
