Okay this is getting really rather annoying now. I have used both of the following methods of getting the screen orientation and both do not work properly on different devices.
Method 1: Display display = ((WindowManager) getSystemService (WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay(); int screenOrientation = display.getOrientation(); Method 2: int screenOrientation = getResources().getConfiguration().orientation; Both methods work fine on the HTC Hero; however, they both fail on the G1 and G2 devices (according to the users of my app). How can we be expected to make high quality applications if the API is not supported on all devices??? I would be very greatful if someone could offer a solution to this, its just not acceptable.
