How to detect orientation change in layout in Android?

Question

I just implemented a orientation change feature - e.g. when the layout changes from portrait to landscape (or vice versa). How can I detect when the orientation change event

Answer 1

Create an instance of OrientationEventListener class and enable it.

OrientationEventListener mOrientationEventListener = new OrientationEventListener(YourActivity.this) {
    @Override
    public void onOrientationChanged(int orientation) {
        Log.d(TAG,"orientation = " + orientation);
    }
};

if (mOrientationEventListener.canDetectOrientation())
    mOrientationEventListener.enable();
