Hello,

I have an activity displaying a list of items. Upon clicking an item,
I display a full-screen dialog with some buttons and an image. This
looks great in landscape, but doesn't look good in portrait (Due to
the image aspect ratio). I would like to know if its possible to
always display this dialog in landscape irrespective of current screen
orientation. And after the dialog is dismissed, I'll handover the
orientation back to the sensor. Here's what I have so far:

OnItemClickListener listlistener = new OnItemClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View arg1, int 
position,
                                long arg3) {

                        final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(getParent());
                        dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

                        final int orientation =
getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;

                        if (orientation == 1){
        
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);

                        }

                        dialog.setContentView(R.layout.dialog);

                        dialog.setCancelable(true);
                        ImageView img = (ImageView) 
dialog.findViewById(R.id.img); //A
static image for testing UI

                        //BUTTON LISTENERS HERE

                        dialog.show();

                        dialog.setOnCancelListener(new OnCancelListener() {

                                @Override
                                public void onCancel(DialogInterface dialog) {

        
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR);

                                }
                        });

                }
        };

But by doing so, the screen changes orientation first and then tries
to display the dialog. But on orientation change the screen is
restarting the activity and my dialog isn't shown. Is there a simpler
way to do this? Could I use two different layout for the dialog and
load a corresponding one depending on the orientation? If so, then
what would the XML for the portrait mode  look like?

Thanks!
