How to lock the device orientation?

[rosancoderian]

i want to lock the orientation to potrait only, how to achieve this with phaser.js?

I believe you can't lock the browser from switching to landscape mode but you can force the game to work only in a certain orientation and display a message to the user that he should switch to the correct orientation.

 

You can see this example in the Full Screen Mobile Template in the Boot state. It uses the forceOrientation method of the ScaleManager to force the game in a certain orientation and displays a message to the user whenever the wrong orientation is entered using the enterIncorrectOrientation signal.

it seems that the game still can be resumed when enter the incorrect orientation, is that a bug?

Yes as @next mentioned, it works on Intel XDK and the orientation is locked. Even if you minimize the app and the orientation gets to portrait, once you resume the app it will switch to landscape again and lock. I am talking about android.
