Those are two different orientations. The Configuration constants: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/res/Configuration.html#ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE
The constants for set/getRequestedOrientation(): http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/ActivityInfo.html#screenOrientation Beyond that, I would strongly recommend not doing what you are trying to do. This would result in a UI flow that is very counter to what the user expects -- that either an app is going to run in a particular orientation, or allow them to rotate their screen as they would elsewhere. Ending up locked into whatever orientation they happened to launch the app in is just not how things should work. Besides which, there are all kinds of edge cases you'll never get right -- for example what happens if they press home to leave your app, rotate their device, and then task switch back to your app? Or as another poster mention, if you lock the screen into portrait like this and they flip the lid on their keyboard the orientation won't change to landscape, which is not what they are going to want. You really, really just need to code your activity correctly to be able to destroy and re-create the activity.
