No problems except one. I set the screen orientation to allow both portrait and landscape for all devices. However, when the app is installed, it does not go to horizontal when the phone is turned. All other apps and the browser do, but not the app I made. Any ideas? Thanks. Title Comments Hi all: I am bringing in a web page using the Custom URL plugin in an android app for my boss.

The best way to change or prevent the rotation is to change it per plugin in the manifest file.

However, I was looking to find a way to use the sensor, so when you physically hold the phone vertical, it is portrait and when you hold the phone horizontally, it is landscape. Any ideas? Thanks.
