You can’t.  In fact, you can’t rotate any of Android’s native UI such as WebViews, TextFields, etc.  This is a limitation of the operating system.  Attempting to rotate Android’s native UI in Java will show all kinds of rendering glitches if you try, which is why Corona prevents them from being rotated in Lua.

Your only reliable option is to display fullscreen video via the Lua media.playVideo() function.
