Android | How to keep orientation unlocked even after changing orientation programmatically?

I have a video player where user can change orientation manually also by rotating the device and by pressing a button click. When i am clicking the button, orientation changes to landscape but now the orientation gets locked and user cannot move back to portrait just by rotating the device I have tried this :-

activity.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);

and this :-

activity.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR_LANDSCAPE);

but none of it seems to work. So, how can i keep the orientation unlocked at all times plus user can switch orientation with a button click keeping the orientation unlocked ?

I also had to change one activity's orientation to 180 when opening it and then let the user rotate back to portrait and lock it.

I just added these lines inside onCreate:

requestedOrientation = ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_REVERSE_PORTRAIT
requestedOrientation = ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_UNSPECIFIED

The activity is locked in portrait mode in manifest.

<activity
        android:name=".ui.GalleryActivity"
        android:launchMode="singleTask"
        android:screenOrientation="sensorPortrait"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar" />

After I changing the orientation using a button, I changed the orientation to unspecified within a handler to assure that the orientation has been changed. Here is my code:

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_USER_PORTRAIT);
    new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            // make screen orientation unspecified (sensor change it 
            //according to user action)
            setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_UNSPECIFIED);
        }
    }, 3000);

Add android:screenOrientation="portrait"> in the application section.

<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
    <activity android:name=".App"
              android:label="@string/app_name"
              android:screenOrientation="portrait">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

</application>
