If you just want to find the current orientation of the screen, the sensor manager is just totally the wrong direction to take.
What you want to do is use getResources().getConfiguration() (sorry I incorrectly previously posted to use getDisplayMetrics()). You can follow the docs on getRequestedOrientation() to see the (fairly large) set of possible values it returns and that usually it is not telling you the actual current orientation: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#getRequestedOrientation() http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/ActivityInfo.html#screenOrientation http://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.attr.html#screenOrientation So if you are getting SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT or SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE from here, you are just finding out that you had told the system that you want to force the screen to be portrait or landscape while your activity is in the foreground. This is what you want to use if you just want to find out the current screen orientation: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/res/Resources.html#getConfiguration() http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/res/Configuration.html#orientation On Tue, Mar 24, 2009 at 11:16 PM, suhas gavas <suhas.ga...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi > make use of sensorListener and it will work ......... i have used the same > .......... when u use sensorlistener and sensormanager in ur view it has got > an override method as onSizeChanged which return the width and > height......... so using change in size u will get the orientation > > Below is a code for u of orientation check ......... enjoy : > > > import android.app.Activity; > import android.content.Context; > import android.os.Bundle; > import android.view.View; > import android.hardware.SensorManager; > import android.hardware.SensorListener; > import android.util.Log; > import android.graphics.Bitmap; > import android.graphics.Canvas; > import android.graphics.Color; > import android.graphics.Paint; > import android.graphics.Path; > import android.graphics.RectF; > > public class Midlet extends Activity { > /** Tag string for our debug logs */ > private static final String TAG = "Sensors"; > > private SensorManager mSensorManager; > private GraphView mGraphView; > > private class GraphView extends View implements SensorListener > { > > public GraphView(Context context) { > super(context); > } > > @Override > protected void onSizeChanged(int w, int h, int oldw, int oldh) { > System.out.println("on sizechanged"); > super.onSizeChanged(w, h, oldw, oldh); > } > > @Override > protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) { > > } > > public void onSensorChanged(int sensor, float[] values) { > > } > > public void onAccuracyChanged(int sensor, int accuracy) { > // TODO Auto-generated method stub > > } > } > > /** > * Initialization of the Activity after it is first created.
