While we're on the topic, can you have different orientation handling for different activities within the same application?
It currently does not work for me. I have one Activity that I want to force to Lanscape, so I set screenOrientation and configChanges in that Activity. (Just so happens to be my MAIN activity). I then have additional Actitivites that do not have screenOrientation nor configChangesset in manifest. The Main Activity is forced to landscape as desired. But, when I launch the "sub-Activities", they are forced to landscape too, and I don't want them to be, I want them to be oriented based on the physical orientation of the phone.
