Capture orientation change event before it happens

Question

It\'s simple to lock the orientation to portrait or landscape.

Answer 1

Use this piece of code in onPause() method. When rotatio changes, activty re-coustructs it self which means on-Create is called again and previous activity is finish();

    int currentOrientation = getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;
    if (currentOrientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE){
        if (display.getRotation() == Surface.ROTATION_0)
        // play with different angles e.g ROTATION_90, ROTATION_180
    }

So when rotation changes the previous activites's onPause() will be called and at that stage you can decide what you want with new orientation.
