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