How to specify landscape in Android < 9 and sensorLanscape in Android >= 9 in manifest?

I have an app that needs landscape orientation.

So I like to use android:screenOrientation="sensorLandscape" in the manifest.

But for Android < 9 that is not supported, there I need to use android:screenOrientation="landscape"

Just putting both in the manifest gives an error.

Is there a way to solve this in the manifest or do I really need to handle this programmatically in each activity onCreate using android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT ?

Solution
