default - Find out if Android device is portrait or landscape for normal usage?

Question

Is there anyway to find out if a device is portrait or landscape by default? In that I mean how you normally use the device.

Most phones have a portrait screen for normal usage but is there some flag for finding that out?

Answer 1

You can do this by:

For Lanscape

if(getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE){
    //Do some stuff
}

For Portrait

if(getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT){
    //Do some stuff
}
