Android track device orientation when orientation is locked

Question

I have an activity with locked orientation

    <activity
        android:name=".AboutActivity"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait"></activity>

How i can know when user change device orientation?
Maybe question is too unclear, so i try explain what i want in result.

I want to know when user rotate phone AND AFTER THAT rotate layout and other views with my own animation.

I think i can use SensorManager, but maybe exist more elegant way?

yes there might be a way... w8 for my answer... – Syed Ali Naqi Jul 19 '15 at 21:54 — Syed Ali Naqi, Jul 19 '15 at 21:54

Well I have used The OnScreenChangetListener() once. See this. It tells everything. Just execute your animation code in the Method. It might work. If the Above method doesn't work, there is a Method below the OnScreenChangetListener() method in the documentation. it will work for sure.

Well let guess if I m right. You want to know if the screen position is landscape then u want to change the Screen Orientation With Animation right??? – Syed Ali Naqi Jul 19 '15 at 22:15
No, i need a callback portrait->landscape and landscape->portrait. This method not called when activity orientation locked. – Sergey Shustikov Jul 19 '15 at 22:16
