Forcing activity to run an activity in landscape in android 1.5
<p>I have an application which is in portrait mode. However, I want to run a particular activity in landscape mode. I have tried the following with no success.</p>

<pre><code>1. android:screenOrientation="landscape" in AndroidManifest.xml
2. this.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE); in activity requiring landscape mode
</code></pre>

<p>as specified <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2150287/force-an-android-activity-to-always-use-landscape-mode">here</a>. Please help.
Thanks</p>
