Screen orientation issue on Nougat 7.0.1

Question

I have two activities in my application both supports portrait and landscape orientation.

Initially application loaded perfect
Rotate my screen to landscape and then come back to portrait, now my portrait views are not showing good as I designed

the layout android:weightSum is not working fine most of the layout weight are reduced

manifest.xml

android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"

How can I solve this issue?

_now my portrait views are now showing good as I designed_ if it is the same then what is the issue? — Piyush, Jun 24 '19 at 09:45

Just came across this problem in my own app.

The solution that works for me is as follows:

onCreate(){
   setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR_LANDSCAPE);
}

onPause(){ 
  if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 27) {
         setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR_PORTRAIT);
  }
}

onResume(){
  if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 27) {
         setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR_LANDSCAPE);
  }
}

The above code should go in the activity that is in landscape mode (i.e. the second activity, and the one you press the back button from)

I would like to point out that this solution was not my own, and I have taken it from the #20 post at the following link (which is also noted in the OP):
