Get current orientation and lock

Question

I'm trying to get the current orientation of an activity and lock it like this but it just goes to portrait even when opened in landscape mode.

//getRequestedOrientation();
setRequestedOrientation( ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LOCKED);

Thanks

You have screen orientation locked, it will show your app in portrait mode, you should use screen orientation sensor.

setRequestedOrientation (ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR);

Edit.

int str = 0;
    try {
            str = Settings.System.getInt(contexto.getContentResolver(),Settings.System.ACCELEROMETER_ROTATION);
        } catch (SettingNotFoundException e) {          
                e.printStackTrace();
        } 
    if(str!=0) 
    {
        setRequestedOrientation (ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR);   
    }

I want it to sense the orientation and stay on the orientation even when titled. – MosesA Jul 25 '14 at 11:40
I'm not sure what the first part of the code is doing with the Settings. I just tried it, it still changes orientation to portrait even when I clicked the app on landscape. – MosesA Jul 25 '14 at 11:53

This seems to do the trick:

if(getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT) {
    setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
} else setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);

Get current orientation and lock
