In my application, the form has to display in portrait mode of an Android phone because in landscape, the content won't fit or be meaningful when displayed in this mode.

Is there a way in EWB to prevent the phone from displaying the form in landscape when the phone is tilted?

I forgot to ask how to detect a change in orientation in Android? I suppose the same code will work for IOS?

I just detect a screen resize and test to see if the width is greater
than the height.

That's a great idea!

Thanks.

Unfortunately, no.  There's an orientation change event that's fired by the browser, but you can't cancel it.  That, combined with the fact that this event was a little flaky in the past in terms of how/when it was fired, is why EWB doesn't surface it.
