I’m setting up an Android tablet in single app kiosk mode and need it to stay awake without showing the lock screen. I also want the kiosk app to remain in landscape orientation. In the orientation options, I don’t see a setting named “Landscape.” I only see “Left” and “Right.” Are those the landscape options, or am I looking in the wrong place?

For Android devices in single app kiosk mode, you can prevent the device from going to the lock screen by enabling the Keep Screen On setting in the device configuration. This keeps the tablet awake while it is in kiosk mode.

For orientation, the Left and Right options correspond to landscape modes:

– Left: rotates the screen 90° counterclockwise.

– Right: rotates the screen 90° clockwise.

So, if you want landscape orientation, select either Left or Right depending on how the tablet is mounted or held.
