Why is not working screenOrientation ?

I set screenOrientation to be portrait and it doesn't workin. It still can go landscape.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest package="com.example.space.story" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

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

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

</manifest>

Hi,

Did you put:

android:screenOrientation="portrait"

(change "portrait" to "landscape" if you want it in landscape mode)in the "application" section of the "AndroidManifest.xml" file?

Hope this helps
