Check orientation on Android phone

Question

How can I check if the Android phone is in Landscape or Portrait?

Answer 1

I think this code may work after orientation change has take effect

Display getOrient = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();

int orientation = getOrient.getOrientation();

override Activity.onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) function and use newConfig,orientation if you want to get notified about the new orientation before calling setContentView.
