I need to get the updated device orientation, but I have to fix my activity to Portrait (which I did in the layout xml file), which prevents me from using this:
I've found it & here is the calculating function that will be called inside the listener after reading the pitch
& roll
:
public static final int ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT = 0;
public static final int ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE_REVERSE = 1;
public static final int ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE = 2;
public static final int ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT_REVERSE = 3;
public int orientation = ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT;
private int calculateOrientation(int roll, int pitch) {
if (((orientation == ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT || orientation == ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT_REVERSE)
&& (roll > -30 && roll < 30))) {
if (averagePitch > 0)
return ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT_REVERSE;
else
return ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT;
} else {
// divides between all orientations
if (Math.abs(pitch) >= 30) {
if (pitch > 0)
return ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT_REVERSE;
else
return ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT;
} else {
if (averageRoll > 0) {
return ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE_REVERSE;
} else {
return ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE;
}
}
}
}

& here is my full utility class implementation

Adding this image to help visualizing the azimuth
, pitch
