Android: Pressing ad causes Activity with locked orientation to change orientation

Question

All of the Activities in my app are locked into portrait orientation using:

android:screenOrientation="portrait"

I have ads showing at the top of a few of my Activities, and if I tilt the phone sideways and press the ad, it changes the underlying Activity into landscape orientation! I tried to override

onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig)

by setting the configuration to portrait and calling through to super, but it has no effect. Any clue on how to fix this, or what's going on?

Answer 1

    @Override
    public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
        super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);

        this.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
    }

Did the trick.
