Check orientation on Android phone

Question

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

Answer 1

In Activity file :

@Override
    public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
        super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
        checkOrientation(newConfig);
    }

    private void checkOrientation(Configuration newConfig){
        // Checks the orientation of the screen
        if (newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
            Log.d(TAG, "Current Orientation : Landscape");
            // Your magic here for landscape mode          
        } else if (newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT){
            Log.d(TAG, "Current Orientation : Portrait");
            // Your magic here for portrait mode         
        }
    }

AND in Manifest file:

<activity android:name=".ActivityName"
            android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize">

I hope it'll help you ..!

Answer 2

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 docs.

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;
        }

Answer 4

Check screen orientation in runtime.

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
    super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);

    // Checks the orientation of the screen
    if (newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
        Toast.makeText(this, "landscape", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

    } else if (newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT){
        Toast.makeText(this, "portrait", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();        
    }
}

Answer 5

Use this way,

    int orientation = getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;
    String Orintaion = "";
    switch (orientation)
    {
        case Configuration.ORIENTATION_UNDEFINED: Orintaion = "Undefined"; break;
        case Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE: Orintaion = "Landscrape"; break;
        case Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT:  Orintaion = "Portrait"; break;
        default: Orintaion = "Square";break;
    }

in the String you have the Oriantion

Answer 6

I think this solution easy one

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