I have the activity orientation in manifest set as portrait. As i dont want my screen to rotate.
But On Clicking a button, I want to get the current device orientation (portrait or landscape) in Android ? I do not need continuous update from the sensors; just the current device orientation when i click the button is enough.
PS: Device Orientation is the way i am holding my Device. Do not mix this with screen orientation.
This is what i have done so far?
int PORT=1,LAND=2;
WindowManager windowService = (WindowManager)getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
int rotation = windowService.getDefaultDisplay().getRotation();
if (Surface.ROTATION_0 == rotation) {
rotation = PORT;
} else if(Surface.ROTATION_180 == rotation) {
rotation = PORT;
} else if(Surface.ROTATION_90 == rotation) {
rotation = LAND;
} else if(Surface.ROTATION_270 == rotation) {
rotation = LAND;
}
return rotation;
Even using the following method doesnt help
getResources().getConfiguration().orientation
It always return 1 since my activity default is set a portrait.
Sample/example code will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Use this :)
getResources().getConfiguration().orientation
