WebView Horizontal orientation

I've been searching this tons with no help. My application uses a
WebView and I'd like to make this default to horizontal orientation.

I've tried changing this with the layout main.xml file (confused about
that) and also with the WebSettings.setUseWideViewPort() and neither
makes any difference. What am I doing wrong?

Mancala.java class:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

public class Mancala extends Activity {
 
   @Override
 
   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 
       WebView wv = new WebView(this);
 
       setContentView(wv);
 
       WebSettings ws = wv.getSettings();
 
       ws.setUseWideViewPort(true);
 
       ws.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
 
       wv.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/mancala.html");
 
   }
 
}

What do you mean horizontal? You mean have the whole Activity be horizontal? This should be done in the Manifest, or you can use Activity.setRequestedOrientation()
