Lock and unlock orientation in phonegap

Question

I want to enable and disable changes in orientation using phonegap.

For android there is the java call,

activity.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

but I was looking for something that was cross-platform, there is also the config.xml

<preference name="orientation" value="portrait"/>

but this is a global setting.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

for cross platform in android add this line for portrait mode

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

and this one is for landscape

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);

just after this line

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); in your onCreate method,this solution is for android as i have not worked in ios i can not help you on it.
