I found another simple solution on this website: http://sagistech.blogspot.ch/2010/12/finding-android-screen-orientation.html

There are multiple way to get Android screen orientation (landscape/portrait), however some of them are problematic: this.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getOrientation() Is deprecated

this.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRotation() Works only from Android 2.2

I Found this to be the best resource until now, since it's exists since API 1 & it's not deprecated, yet: this.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation

• Configuration.ORIENTATION_SQUARE
• Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT

For me it worked.
