  • i have created a projectname/platform/android folder and copied the manifest file from the build directory. then i modified it like this 

    <?xml version="1.0" ?><manifest android:versionCode="4" android:versionName="1.2" package="com.myapp.myapp" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8"/>
 
    <!-- TI_MANIFEST -->
 
    <application android:debuggable="false" android:icon="@drawable/appicon" android:label="myapp" android:name="MyApplication">
 
        <!-- TI_APPLICATION -->
 
        <activity android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" android:label="myapp" android:name=".myappActivity" android:theme="@style/Theme.Titanium">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
 
        <activity android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" android:launchMode="singleTask" android:name="ti.modules.titanium.media.TiVideoActivity" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"/>
 
        <activity android:configChanges="keyboardHidden" android:name="org.appcelerator.titanium.TiActivity"  android:screenOrientation="portrait"/>
        <activity android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" android:name="org.appcelerator.titanium.TiTranslucentActivity" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent"/>
        <activity android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" android:name="org.appcelerator.titanium.TiModalActivity" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent"/>
        <activity android:configChanges="keyboardHidden" android:name="ti.modules.titanium.ui.TiTabActivity" android:screenOrientation="portrait"/>
        <activity android:name="ti.modules.titanium.ui.android.TiPreferencesActivity"/>
 
        <service android:exported="false" android:name="org.appcelerator.titanium.analytics.TiAnalyticsService"/>
 
 
    </application>
 
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

  • how should it be?

    — commented 7 months ago by AlinuX .

  • You need to add the android:screenOrientation=&quot;portrait&quot; in all the activities. Right now you have it only in 4 of them.

    also try tot change android:configChanges=&quot;keyboardHidden|orientation&quot; to android:configChanges=&quot;keyboardHidden&quot; everywhere.

  • What did u do?

    — commented 7 months ago by Dan Tamas

  • i just edited the line for "ti.modules.titanium.ui.TiTabActivity" and added the android:screenOrientation="portrait" tag , removed the orientation word from "keyboardHidden|orientation" and left everything else as is.
