screen-orientation

Is there a way to detect device orientation events or at least to get the current device orientation while using android:screenOrientation in the manifest ? I mean device orientation not application orientation. My problem is I really want to keep my application in portait mode (it's a web view) but I want to handle orientation change myself in my app. When android:screenOrientation is setted, orientation getted by methods is always the application orientation, not the device orientation. Regards, Gaëtan Yo can use the acelerometer to detect the device orientation. I know, it's more hard but I

I am trying to stop my app from resetting whenever the user flips the screen. I don't really want to set it to portrait permanently. My problem is I have settings which erase and a service which stops each time the screen flips. I would like to keep things as they are regardless of the screen orientation.

I am building a Windows Phone 8 application that uses a Pivot control to display data for a given date for different users. Each PivotItem holds a different user. Currently my application only supports Portrait orientation but I want to build in support for Landscape orientation as well. In doing so, I would like each PivotItem to no longer only show data for one date, but for a full week, hereby changing the layout significantly. My first approach was to navigate to a new page with the new layout, however during some research for this, I learned that maybe the right/best approach would be to
