[SOLVED] How do I allow only one specific fragment to have both portrait and landscape orientations in Android?

How do I allow only one specific fragment to have both portrait and landscape orientations in Android?

In my Android application, I have added android:screenOrientation="portrait" to all activities in my Android.manifest and android:orientation="vertical" to every activity's/fragment's respective layout so that the app can only be viewed in portrait mode.

However, there is one fragment in particular that I want to enable both portrait and landscape orientations. This fragment extends the DialogFragment() class as it's a full-screen fragment. This fragment is contained within another fragment, so it uses childFragmentManager to be displayed.

How do I enable both portrait and landscape orientations for a specific fragment, while only enabling portrait orientation for the rest of my activities and fragments?

Just change the rotation type to Sensor or User, and reset when the fragment is destroyed or paused.
