Hi,

have you tried
screen.lockOrientation("landscape");

Hi @whizzkey, Thanks for your reply, I tried with this code, but not worked, if you have any other solution please forward me

Thanks…

How did you fix the app in portrait?

5

set tag
preference name=“orientation” value="portrait"
in config.xml

I wouldn’t set screen direction in config.xml,

In your inital controller put:
screen.lockOrientation("portrait")

Then when you open your video put:
screen.lockOrientation("landscape")

and when you close your video:
screen.lockOrientation("portrait")

I tried with code, i got an error “screen.lockOrientation is not a function” . If any plugin is required to implement this code. please forward to me. screen is dependency injection or not.

Sorry, I forgot to point out the plugin…

got same error after add plugin

10

try
window.screen.lockOrientation("portrait")

ios needs this, on android I have not encountered it.

11

again got same error window.screen.lockOrientation is not a function

12

In your index.html try and add
<script type="text/javascript" src="cordova.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="plugins/cordova-plugin-screen-orientation/www/screenorientation.js"></script>

(check if the plugin name is correct).

then try with screen.lockOrientation(…)

13

add this code in index.html, but not working…

14

Are you calling it on deviceReady?
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false); function onDeviceReady(){ screen.lockOrientation('landscape'); }

@nani_madepalli

use screen orientation plugin for specific page rotation

and then try this code

$rootScope.$on(’$locationChangeSuccess’, function (event, newUrl, oldUrl) {
try {
if(newUrl.indexOf(’/statename’)>0){
screen.unlockOrientation();
}
else {
screen.lockOrientation(‘portrait’);
}
} catch(ex) { console.log(ex); }

        });
