You can add android:screenOrientation="landscape" in your activity tag to specify the mode of screen orientation in your manifest file

<activity
            android:name="com.xyz.myapp.SplashActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:screenOrientation="landscape" >

Hope it helps .

Add setRequestedOrientation in the onCreate method like below

 @Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    this.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
    setContentView(R.layout.homepage);

ive got it set as SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR_LANDSCAPE, cuz I want it to be rotable whenever the device's setting for "auto rotate" is on, and to keep the landscape rotation whenever its off – Maciej Boguta Oct 01 '13 at 09:48

This would set to landscape if auto_rotate is off, otherwise if would rotate normally as long as it wasn't set to land/port in the manifest.

if(android.provider.Settings.System.getInt(getContentResolver(),Settings.System.ACCELEROMETER_ROTATION, 0) != 1){
   this.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
}
