Description

Problem Description

Have been trying to setup a tab app to be locked in landscape mode via tiapp.xml (modifying the android manifest):

  <android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <manifest>
    <activity
    android:name="org.appcelerator.titanium.TiActivity"
    android:configChanges="keyboardHidden"
       android:screenOrientation="landscape"
    />
    <activity android:name="ti.modules.titanium.ui.TiTabActivity"
      android:configChanges="keyboardHidden"
    />
    
    <activity 
    	android:name="ti.modules.titanium.ui.TiTabActivity"
    	android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" 
        android:screenOrientation="landscape"

      />
  </manifest>
    </android>

Actual Results

The tabbed app doesn't show in landscape

Expected results

The tabbed app showing in landscape mode.

Test Case.

1. Create a new mobile Project 2. Replace the default android manifest section in the tiapp.xml with this:

  <android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <manifest>
    <activity
    android:name="org.appcelerator.titanium.TiActivity"
    android:configChanges="keyboardHidden"
       android:screenOrientation="landscape"
    />
    <activity android:name="ti.modules.titanium.ui.TiTabActivity"
      android:configChanges="keyboardHidden"
    />
    
    <activity 
    	android:name="ti.modules.titanium.ui.TiTabActivity"
    	android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" 
        android:screenOrientation="landscape"

      />
  </manifest>
    </android>

4. Run

Correct android manifest section in tiapp.xml (added **):

   <android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
     <manifest>
     <application>
     <activity
     android:name="org.appcelerator.titanium.TiActivity"
     android:configChanges="keyboardHidden"
        android:screenOrientation="landscape"
     />
      
     <activity 
         android:name="ti.modules.titanium.ui.TiTabActivity"
         android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" 
         android:screenOrientation="landscape"
    
       />
   </application>
   </manifest>
     </android>
