Screen Orientation lock in specific states

1

Is there a way to lock specific screens to a specific orientation for Android?

I only found ways to set landscape/portrait mode for the whole application. I just need it for one screen.

Yes, you can do it easy.

First you will need to use Cordova net.yoik.cordova.plugins.screenorientation plugin.

You can easily lock/unlock screen orientation using it.

// set to either landscape
screen.lockOrientation('landscape');

// allow user rotate
screen.unlockOrientation();

Next, to do it only on selected pages, use this code inside an appropriate page controller:

$scope.$on('$ionicView.beforeEnter', function(){
    screen.lockOrientation('landscape');
});

If executed in a right controller this code will trigger orientation lock before the view becomes visible.
