Control default auto rotate screen in my application

Question

I have a toggle button in my application. I want to change or control default setting, Auto rotate screen(Settings>Display>Auto rotate screen) programmatically. Does anybody know how to do this?

Answer 1

Have you tried this in your Activity?

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

//This is the default value
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_UNSPECIFIED);

After that you can use this to disable the auto orientation:

public static void setAutoOrientationEnabled(ContentResolver resolver, boolean enabled)
{
  Settings.System.putInt(resolver, Settings.System.ACCELEROMETER_ROTATION, enabled ? 1 : 0);
}
