I think each android device has an abitily to on/off auto-rotating function. Usually you can find it in settings->display->auto-rotate on/off. How can I read this setting state from my application? How can I access to this setting value? If you can share a code snipped i'd be very appreciate it.

Hope this code snippet helps you out:-

@Override      
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    if (android.provider.Settings.System.getInt(getContentResolver(),
            Settings.System.ACCELEROMETER_ROTATION, 0) == 1){
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Rotation ON", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

    }
    else{
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Rotation OFF", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}

Use the following code: 

if (android.provider.Settings.System.getInt(getContentResolver(), android.provider.Settings.System.ACCELEROMETER_ROTATION, 0) == 1) {
    Toast.makeText(Rotation.this, "Rotation ON", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else {
    Toast.makeText(Rotation.this, "Rotation OFF", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

Try this:

 public static void setAutoOrientationEnabled(ContentResolver resolver, boolean enabled)
        {
              Settings.System.putInt( context.getContentResolver(), Settings.System.ACCELEROMETER_ROTATION, enabled ? 1 : 0);
        }
