[SOLVED] Force Screen Orientation Android to Landscape

[nanoandrew4]

How can I force set the orientation to Landscape in a mobile app and not make it possible to revert to portrait again? I have been looking at many examples, but they don't seem to work. Any help is appreciated.

@nanoandrew4
yes, you can do that!

• go to your project->android folder

• find AndroidManifest.xml file and open it.

• find the line android:screenOrientation="landscape"

@vishnu There is no android folder, It is not QML if that is relevant, I just made it QWidget. Is it preferable to use QML?

Hi,

The "Editing Manifest Files" in Qt Creator's android deployment guide explains how to generate it.

@SGaist Thank you so much, it's my first time with mobile and I'm still working it out. It worked perfectly, and also thank you for answering so quickly!
