Find out if Android device is portrait or landscape for normal usage?

Question

Is there anyway to find out if a device is portrait or landscape by default? In that I mean how you normally use the device.

Most phones have a portrait screen for normal usage but is there some flag for finding that out?

Answer 1

You can do this by:

For Lanscape

if (getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {     // Do some stuff } 

For Portrait

if (getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT) {     // Do some stuff } 

Check: Configuration.orientation

Answer 2

It's simple, Just a If-Else block:

if (getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {     // landscape } else {     // portrait }
