How to set a dialog for portrait only?

Is there a way to showing a dialog always in portrait? I need that because of its layout.

I know that I can set that for an Activity with

android:screenOrientation="portrait|reversePortrait"

But what about a dialog?

Not sure these ways will fit your requirement ,

One way is showing Activity as a dialog with screen orientation set to portrait (with dialog theme) refer DialogActivity from ApiDemos

Other way is forcing activity to change its orientation by 

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

and open dialog in onConfigurationChanged() (with some logic).

At the time of the dialog showing, check the device's orientation.

Display display = ((WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay();
int orientation = display.getOrientation();
//if orientation is portrait then show, if not then don't.
