Webview Portrait / Landscape orientation on Android

I create a custom AndroidManifest to avoid the landscape orientation and works fine.
How could I make that only the webviews can change it´s orientation?

    You would have to set the orientationModes property of Titanium.UI.Window to a specific orientation for standard windows, and then don't specify any orientation mode for webviews.

    For example

    var win = Titanium.UI.currentWindow;
win.orientationModes = [Titanium.UI.LANDSCAPE_LEFT];

    I think you would have to remove your modification of the AndroidManifest though.

    • Note that the other orientation modes are LANDSCAPE_RIGHT, PORTRAIT and UPSIDE_PORTRAIT, as stated in the Titanium.UI docs

  • Thank you for you answer Hal but orientationModes don´t prevent a orientation change, at least on the emulator.
