How to detect screen rotation through 180 degrees from landscape to landscape orientation?

Question

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

Answer 1

I use this code to have it work for my case.

  OrientationEventListener mOrientationEventListener = new OrientationEventListener(mActivity)
  {
     @Override
     public void onOrientationChanged(int orientation)
     {
        if (orientation == ORIENTATION_UNKNOWN) return;

        int rotation = mActivity.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRotation();
        switch (rotation) {
          case Surface.ROTATION_0:
             android.util.Log.i(TAG, "changed ROTATION_0 - " + orientation);
             break;
          case Surface.ROTATION_90:
             android.util.Log.i(TAG, "changed ROTATION_90 - " + orientation);
             break;
          case Surface.ROTATION_180:
             android.util.Log.i(TAG, "changed ROTATION_180 - " + orientation);
             break;
          case Surface.ROTATION_270:
             android.util.Log.i(TAG, "changed ROTATION_270 - " + orientation);
             break;
        }
        if ((rotation != mLastRotation) && (rotation & 0x1) == (mLastRotation & 0x1))
        {
           android.util.Log.i(TAG, "unhandled orientation changed >>> " + rotation);
        }
        mLastRotation = rotation;
     }
  };

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

May be you should add some logical code in your OrientationEventListener like this:

mWindowManager = (WindowManager) getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);

OrientationEventListener orientationEventListener = new OrientationEventListener(this,
        SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL) {
    @Override
    public void onOrientationChanged(int orientation) {

        Display display = mWindowManager.getDefaultDisplay();
        int rotation = display.getRotation();
        if ((rotation == Surface.ROTATION_90 || rotation == Surface.ROTATION_270) && rotation != mLastRotation) {
            Log.i(TAG, "changed >>> " + rotation);

            // do something

            mLastRotation = rotation;
        }
    }
};

if (orientationEventListener.canDetectOrientation()) {
    orientationEventListener.enable();
}

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);
