Handle screen orientation changes

Question

I added this in my onCreate method.

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

And now I want to determine which side user is trying to rotate the phone. How can I do that?

The user can't rotate the screen, but I want to determine weather he is trying or not.

Answer 1

Use this:

Display display = ((WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay();
int rotation = display.getRotation();
