Check orientation on Android phone

Question

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

Answer 1

I think this solution easy one

if (context.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT){
  user_todat_latout = true;
} else {
  user_todat_latout = false;
}

Answer 2

Simple and easy :)

1. Make 2 xml layouts ( i.e Portrait and Landscape )

2. At java file, write:

   private int intOrientation;
   

   at onCreate method and before setContentView write:

   intOrientation = getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;
   if (intOrientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT)
       setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
   else
       setContentView(R.layout.layout_land);   // I tested it and it works fine.
   

Answer 3

The current configuration, as used to determine which resources to retrieve, is available from the Resources' Configuration object:

getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;

You can check for orientation by looking at its value:

int orientation = getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;
if (orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
    // In landscape
} else {
    // In portrait
}

More information can be found in the Android Developer.

Answer 4

there are many ways to do this , this piece of code works for me

 if (this.getWindow().getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay()
                .getOrientation() == ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT) {
             // portrait mode
} else if (this.getWindow().getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay()
                .getOrientation() == ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
                      // landscape
        }

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

int ot = getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;
switch(ot)
        {

        case  Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE:

            Log.d("my orient" ,"ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE");
        break;
        case Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT:
            Log.d("my orient" ,"ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT");
            break;

        case Configuration.ORIENTATION_SQUARE:
            Log.d("my orient" ,"ORIENTATION_SQUARE");
            break;
        case Configuration.ORIENTATION_UNDEFINED:
            Log.d("my orient" ,"ORIENTATION_UNDEFINED");
            break;
            default:
            Log.d("my orient", "default val");
            break;
        }
