NokiaX wont landscape my activity

Question

In my android manifest file I have attributed my activity to force it to android:screenOrientation="landscape", but the runtime still refuses to landscape my view, instead continues to be protrait.

<activity
        android:name="com.taxeeta.DriverHome"
        android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:screenOrientation="landscape"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar" />

Answer 1

I just checked this, and made new "Helloworld" application, and then in the manifest just added these two lines inside the opening part of the activity tag

android:screenOrientation="landscape"
android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"

And when it is run in the Nokia X device, it indeed opens nicely in landscape.
