Get phone orientation but fix screen orientation to portrait

Question

I want to get the phone orientation but keep the screen orientation to portrait. So no matter the user turns the phone to landscape or portrait, the view stays the same, but

Answer 1

To get into that you want to set in manifest file in that activity

android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"

Then when user rotate phone it will came into public void onConfigurationChanged() method. Also remove

android:screenOrientation="portrait" 

from the same activity.
