How can i make orientation of background remain portrait eve on screen rotation

Question

Is it possible to make the screen orientation of the background of an xml page remain in portrait even in screen rotation. I tried

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:background="@drawable/back">

but it doesn't work. What should i do?

declare your orientation for this activity in the manifest file. — amit singh, Jan 27 '14 at 07:50
