How can I get the current screen orientation?

Question

Activity.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation

int orientation = this.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;
if (orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT) {
    // code for portrait mode
} else {
    // code for landscape mode
}

When the superclass of this is Context

int rotation =  getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRotation();

this will gives all orientation like normal and reverse

and handle it like

int angle = 0;
switch (rotation) {
    case Surface.ROTATION_90:
        angle = -90;
        break;
    case Surface.ROTATION_180:
        angle = 180;
        break;
    case Surface.ROTATION_270:
        angle = 90;
        break;
    default:
        angle = 0;
        break;
}

In some devices void onConfigurationChanged() may crash. User will use this code to get current screen orientation.

public int getScreenOrientation()
{
    Display getOrient = getActivity().getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
    int orientation = Configuration.ORIENTATION_UNDEFINED;
    if(getOrient.getWidth()==getOrient.getHeight()){
        orientation = Configuration.ORIENTATION_SQUARE;
    } else{ 
        if(getOrient.getWidth() < getOrient.getHeight()){
            orientation = Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT;
        }else { 
             orientation = Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE;
        }
    }
    return orientation;
}

And use

if (orientation==1)        // 1 for Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT
{                          // 2 for Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE
   //your code             // 0 for Configuration.ORIENTATION_SQUARE
}

getActivity().getResources().getConfiguration().orientation

this command returns int value 1 for Portrait and 2 for Landscape

In case anyone would like to obtain meaningful orientation description (like that passed to onConfigurationChanged(..) with those reverseLandscape, sensorLandscape and so on), simply use getRequestedOrientation()

I just want to propose another alternative that will concern some of you :

android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden" 

implies that we explicitly declare the layout to be injected.

In case we want to keep the automatic injection thanks to the layout-land and layout folders. All you have to do is add it to the onCreate:

    if (getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
        getSupportActionBar().hide();

    } else if (getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT) {
        getSupportActionBar().show();
    }

Here, we display or not the actionbar depending on the orientation of the phone
