public static int getScreenOrientation(Activity activity) {
        int rotation = activity.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRotation();
        int orientation = activity.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;
        if (orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT) {
          if (rotation == Surface.ROTATION_0 || rotation == Surface.ROTATION_270) {
            return ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT;
          } else {
            return ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_REVERSE_PORTRAIT;
          }
        }
        if (orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
          if (rotation == Surface.ROTATION_0 || rotation == Surface.ROTATION_90) {
            return ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE;
          } else {
            return ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_REVERSE_LANDSCAPE;
          }
        }
        return ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_UNSPECIFIED;
      }
