Thanks Sarwar for your answer. But when I put this code into the onStart method. The orientation will always be Portrait. When I discard the if-part, I am getting the same problem as mentioned above. I realized now that, when the app enters the onStart the orientation is initally -1(thats why I get the portrait-orientation with the if-part). When the setrequestedorientation is called the orientation is 0 (LANDSCAPE), as I requested. And then it is in this infinite loop and when its now entering the onstart the requestedorientation is 1 (PORTRAIT). Which is really weird to me. Should I do anything in the TabActivity!? Any suggestions are very welcome. Thanks
