Answer 1

I ended up using Zoltán's answer above, which works great, except when I tried it on a tablet (a Samsung P6210 Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus). In portrait mode, it returned SCREEN_ORIENTATION_REVERSE_PORTRAIT. So in the else statement (if natural orientation is landscape) I swapped the cases for ROTATION_90 and ROTATION_270, and everything seems to work fine. (I don't have enough reputation to post this as a comment to Zoltán's answer.)
