How to detect exact orientation of device in Froyo?

Question

I\'m trying to temporarily lock the orientation of the Android device, where most of the time it changes with the sensor. So what I want to do is figure out what the current

I modified diyism's answer in a different post to work for Froyo. Since Froyo doesn't support reverse_landscape it will appear upside down but will return to the proper orientation after you unlock. In Gingerbread and later it should work without problems.

Not a perfect solution but good enough for my needs.

public static void disableRotation(Activity activity)
{       
    final int orientation = activity.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;
    final int rotation = activity.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getOrientation();

    // Copied from Android docs, since we don't have these values in Froyo 2.2
    int SCREEN_ORIENTATION_REVERSE_LANDSCAPE = 8;
    int SCREEN_ORIENTATION_REVERSE_PORTRAIT = 9;

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT <= Build.VERSION_CODES.FROYO)
    {
        SCREEN_ORIENTATION_REVERSE_LANDSCAPE = ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE;
        SCREEN_ORIENTATION_REVERSE_PORTRAIT = ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT;
    }

    if (rotation == Surface.ROTATION_0 || rotation == Surface.ROTATION_90)
    {
        if (orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT)
        {
            activity.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
        }
        else if (orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE)
        {
            activity.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
        }
    }
    else if (rotation == Surface.ROTATION_180 || rotation == Surface.ROTATION_270) 
    {
        if (orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT) 
        {
            activity.setRequestedOrientation(SCREEN_ORIENTATION_REVERSE_PORTRAIT);
        }
        else if (orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) 
        {
            activity.setRequestedOrientation(SCREEN_ORIENTATION_REVERSE_LANDSCAPE);
        }
    }
}

public static void enableRotation(Activity activity)
{
    activity.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_UNSPECIFIED);
}
