Portrait only not working?

Hello,

I'm working on my first app, and i'm already having trouble. I set the screen orientation to "portrait" for both activities but it still rotates when I rotate the phone, I noticed the same thing happening in the interactive story app (for me at least).

Code:

<application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
        <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity android:name=".NewActivity"
                  android:screenOrientation="portrait">
        </activity>
    </application>

Please help!

Hi Diego - In the code you've posted you haven't set the screen orientation to "portrait" for MainActivity.
