Android Activity Rotated

Question

I'm having a problem with an Activity being rotated after I get back from another that has a different screen orientation.

Allow me describe the steps to reproduce this behavior:

1.I have an Activity declared in the Manifest like this:

<activity
android:name=".JobActivity"
android:label="@string/title_activity_job"
android:screenOrientation="portrait" />

As you can see, screenOrientation is set to portrait

2. Inside this Activity I launch another Activity with the following Intent:

   Intent jobDetailsIntent = new Intent(mActivity, JobDetailActivity.class); startActivity(cameraIntent);

This Activity screen orientation is declared to be landscape .

<activity
android:name=".JobDetailActivity"
android:screenOrientation="landscape"
android:theme="@style/ThemeFullscreen" />

3. The Activity JobDetailActivity when pressing a button, start another Activity waiting for a result.

startActivityForResult(getIntent(activity), requestCode);

This other Activity is declared as portrait

<activity
android:name=".QuestionsActivity"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:theme="@style/ThemeFullscreen.Color" />

4. When I get the result from this other Activity, and after doing a couple of things, I call finish in order to return to the first Activity ( JobActivity ).

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
    // Some other stuff
    this.finish();
}

}

At this point, when I get back to JobActivity I get to see the Activity in landscape (Remember it was declared as portrait ) for a second and then returns to the original position.

To sum up:

A (portrait) -> B (landscape) -> C (portrait)

After receiving result from C and going back to B

A (portrait) -> B (landscape)

After calling finish from B

A (landscape)

After a second

A (portrait)

Any ideas why this may be happening? Thank you all, your help is much appreciated.

Answer 1

I don't understand this code:

Intent jobDetailsIntent = new Intent(mActivity, JobDetailActivity.class);
startActivity(cameraIntent);

There is a difference between the name of intent declare and intent used to start the activity.

Maybe the problem is here.

Thank you.
