Question

To simplify, I’d like to create an activity which consists of two different views (e.g. button and image). And I want only one of them to rotate on orientation change while other to be orientation-independent.
I’ve found a lot about iOS case but nothing about Android.
Any help would be appreciate.

Answer 1

It’s very simple, just add screenOrientation to the activity (the one you don’t want to rotate on orientation change) in the manifest file like this:

<activity android:name=".Activity" 
android:screenOrientation="portrait" />

All other activities will automatically rotate on orientation change.
