android - How can I set Orientation Fixed for all activities

Question

Android Layout. How can I set Orientation Fixed for all activities in application Tag of AndroidMainfest.xml ? I don't want to set orientation for each activity individually. Thanks in advance.

The GoogleIO app has a ActivityHelper class. It has a static method called initialize() which handles a lot things that happen for every Activity. Then it is just 1 line of code in the onCreate() method that you need to remember, that could handle setting that value and several others that are necessary for each activity.

Edit: No importing or anything like that. Create a class called ActivityHelper

public class ActivityHelper {
    public static void initialize(Activity activity) {
        //Do all sorts of common task for your activities here including:

        activity.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
    }
}

Then in all of your activies onCreate() method call ActivityHelper.initialize() If you are planning on developing for tables as well you may want to consider using:

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_NOSENSOR);

I wrote more about this here

Edit: Sorry... you need to pass the the Activity. see the code above
