I'm working on Android application that capture images and upload this images to a server. I used intent to open the camera:

val cameraIntent = Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE)

I need to open the camera in landscape orientation, I tried this approach and nothing changed

cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_SCREEN_ORIENTATION, ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE)

Any advice please.

The behavior of the camera app is up to the developers of the camera app. There are hundreds of camera apps, both pre-installed and user-installed. EXTRA_SCREEN_ORIENTATION is not documented as being part of the ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE protocol, and I am not aware of any camera apps that would honor it. There is no requirement for any camera app to let callers force a screen orientation.

You could integrate a camera library (CameraX from Google, etc.) and take photos yourself directly in your app. Then, you would be able to control the orientation of your screen (e.g., via android:screenOrientation in the manifest).
