[android-developers] Re: Rotate an OptionMenu and a whole layout

Hi Paolo,

try adding this to the manifest android:screenOrientation="portrait".
This is a setting for your whole app.

<activity android:name=".SomeActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="portrait">

Regards, Chandler
