distinctdan opened a new issue #704: edit-config isn't working when setting "android:screenOrientation"
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/issues/704
 
 
   # Bug Report
   I'm trying to set the orientation of my tilt-based app to be only landscape (and not reverse-landscape. Cordova unfortunately doesn't support this out of the box, so I'm using an edit config to edit the AndroidManifest.xml. However, it isn't working. It adds an `edit-config` entry under `res/xml/config.xml`, but it doesn't actually change `AndroidManifest.xml`. I'm not sure if it's supposed to or not. Regardless, when I run my app, it's still in portrait mode.
   
   Here is my main config.xml for the edit-config:
   ```
   <platform name="android">
           
       <edit-config file="AndroidManifest.xml"
                    target="/manifest/application/activity[@android:name='MainActivity']"
                    mode="merge">
           <activity android:screenOrientation="landscape"></activity>
       </edit-config>
   </platform>
   ```
