Activity setRequestedOrientation landscape vs. reverseLandscape?

Question

Is it possible to set an activity's orientation (either in the manifest or with setRequestedOrientation) and specify which landscape or portrait mode to use? I.e. can I choose the device's left or right side?

With 2.1 it doesn't seem possible, but I wondered if anyone had any workarounds?

And where is this used?

Answer 1

When you define your Activity in the manifest you specify orientation.

<activity
    android:screenOrientation="landscape" />

will only show it in landscape.
