Check orientation on Android phone

Question

How can I check if the Android phone is in Landscape or Portrait?

Answer 1

The present configuration, as used to know which resources to retrieve, is present in the Resources' Configuration object:

getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;

You can view for orientation by searching at its value:

int orientation = getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;

if (orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {

    // In landscape

} else {

    // In portrait

}
