There is an application, and I would like to add the ability to change the orientation, those loading another layout only by 10 ". As an option only by 10" +.

Is it possible to do something like that? If so, please tell me which method to use.

    specify, do you want to allow turning the eran, only on 10 "devices, or want to use a special landscape layout only on 10" devices? ъ - Vladyslav Matviienko
  • @metalurgus want to use a special landscape layout only on 10 "devices. - St. Ivan
  • @metalurgus sorry, a little confused himself. I want to allow turning the screen only on 10 "devices and at the same time using a special landscape layout. - St. Ivan

For a 10 "+ 10-inch tablet use the modifier for resources -xlarge or -sw800 API 13+

You need to prohibit the change of orientation for all devices except:

Create a folder with resources similar to the values ​​for the example values-sw800 and values-xlarge, put the boolean flag there:

 <bool name="orientation_portrait">false</bool>

When starting, insert a piece of code example:

 if(getResources().getBoolean(R.bool.orientation_portrait)) setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

It turns out that only at the start, the device 10 "+ it will be possible to change the orientation to land, otherwise only portrait. Do not forget only in default values, add a resource too: only true.

  • can you clarify? It turns out that for 10 "it is enough for me to add the layout-sw800 with predefined styles and when the orientation changes, it will be loaded exactly? - St. Ivan
  • layout-sw800-land, when you change the orientation, the folder with this resource will pull up, but you will not prevent the orientation change, for other cases. Therefore, we need a different approach, I did not immediately understand the essence of the issue, only after your last comment, now I will add - Shwarz Andrei
