OrientationDetector

OrientationDetector is a well-documented android library, a high-level library that makes detecting the orientation of the device easy and still leaving you with the flexibility to use it where needed.

Installation

Step 1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file

allprojects {
     repositories {
	      ...
	      maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
     }
}

Step 2. Add the dependency

dependencies {
	  implementation 'com.github.MoustafaElsaghier:OrientationDetector:0.2.1'
}

Usage

1- Create a new Instance of OrientationDetector

OrientationDetector detector;

2- in onCreate() method init it :

detector = new OrientationDetector(this) {
   @Override
   protected void onRotateChanged(int startDeg, int endDeg) {
      // action to added here
   }
};

3- in onStart() method enable the listner :

@Override
protected void onStart() {
    super.onStart();
    detector.enable();
}

4- in onStop() method disable the listner :

@Override
protected void onStop() {
    super.onStop();
    detector.disable();
}

To get the orientation of the device just use detector object :

// true  if portraits, false in landscape
boolean isPortraite = detector.isPortrait();

in case you need to know the degree of rotation :

/* 0 for portrait
 * 180 for reverse-portrait
 * 90 for landscape
 * 270 for reverse-landscape
*/
int rotateValue = detector.getRotateValue();

Hint : never try to get the values in onCreate()
