I\'ve seen a few other questions similar to this but no answers.
Rotating from portrait to landscape (either direction) and back again, we get the helpful call to on
OrientationEventlistener won't work when the device isn't rotating/moving.
I find display listener is a better way to detect the change.
DisplayManager.DisplayListener mDisplayListener = new DisplayManager.DisplayListener() {
@Override
public void onDisplayAdded(int displayId) {
android.util.Log.i(TAG, "Display #" + displayId + " added.");
}
@Override
public void onDisplayChanged(int displayId) {
android.util.Log.i(TAG, "Display #" + displayId + " changed.");
}
@Override
public void onDisplayRemoved(int displayId) {
android.util.Log.i(TAG, "Display #" + displayId + " removed.");
}
};
DisplayManager displayManager = (DisplayManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.DISPLAY_SERVICE);
displayManager.registerDisplayListener(mDisplayListener, UIThreadHandler);
