jQuery Mobile lock orientation

Question

I am using phonegap and jquery mobile to build an app for an android phone. Is there a possibility to lock the orientation on one page? E.g. page "map" is loaded and the orientation is locked to "landscape" mode.

I have tried to modify manifest.xml and it works. Simply add android:screenOrientation="landscape" attribute to your activity tag like below:

<application android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name">
    <activity android:label="@string/app_name" android:name=".Phonegap_AppName"
        android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden" android:screenOrientation="landscape">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>
