How can I get the current screen orientation

Question

I just want to set some flags when my orientation is in landscape so that when the activity is recreated in onCreate   i can toggle between what to load in portrait vs  landscape  I already have a layout-land xml that is handling my layout   public void onConfigurationChanged Configuration  newConfig             if   newConfig orientation    Configuration ORIENTATION LANDSCAPE                this loadURLData   false                     if   newConfig orientation    Configuration ORIENTATION PORTRAIT                this loadURLData   true                     super onConfigurationChanged  newConfig           Over-riding onConfigurationChanged will prevent my layout-land xml from loading in landscape orientation   I just want to get the current orientation of my device in onCreate    How can I get this

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    lt  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

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 your activity class use the method below       Override     public void onConfigurationChanged Configuration newConfig            super onConfigurationChanged newConfig               Checks the orientation of the screen         if  newConfig orientation    Configuration ORIENTATION LANDSCAPE                 setlogo      Your Method             Log d  Daiya    ORIENTATION LANDSCAPE               else if  newConfig orientation    Configuration ORIENTATION PORTRAIT                 setlogoForLandScape      Your Method             Log d  Daiya    ORIENTATION PORTRAIT                      Then to declare that your activity handles a configuration change  edit the appropriate  element in your manifest file to include the android configChanges attribute with a value that represents the configuration you want to handle  Possible values are listed in the documentation for the android configChanges attribute  the most commonly used values are  orientation  to prevent restarts when the screen orientation changes and  keyboardHidden  to prevent restarts when the keyboard availability changes   You can declare multiple configuration values in the attribute by separating them with a pipe   character    lt activity android name   MyActivity            android configChanges  orientation keyboardHidden            android label   string app name  gt    That s all

Activity getResources   getConfiguration   orientation

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

if you want to override that onConfigurationChanged method and still want it to do the basic stuff then consider using super onConfigyrationChanged   as the first statement in the overriden method
