Get Locked Orientation

Is there a method to detect if the Auto-Rotation Lock of the device is on or off? My app needs to access that method to lock the orientation during runtime.

Solution

  • Add this in your Manifest file in your activity for the fixed orientation you want for your Activity

    android:screenOrientation="portrait"

    like

    <activity android:name=".Settings" android:label="@string/app_name" android:screenOrientation="portrait">

    or in java code you can use

    setRequestedOrientation (ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
