Check for switch between landscape and horizontal

[carchek]

Hi!
I am new member here.
I have a question, since I am new to Android (I know VB language). I am developing an application, that will be able to check for switch between horizontal and landscape position of the telephone.
Can you please give me any guidelines so I can learn more about it.
Thanks in advance,
Carchek

You mean to detect if the device is in Portrait or Landscape?

If the answer is yes then you can do something like this:

If Activity.Width > Activity.Height Then

   Msgbox("Landscape", "")

Else

   Msgbox("Portrait", "")

End If

Thank you! :sign0008:

What Sub would you put this code in to detect?

Activity_Resume, I believe.

It's a little more efficient to put it in Activity_Create.

Activity_Resume will always execute when the program has been interrupted, whether the orientation has changed or not. Activity_Create will only be executed if Android restarts the app, which includes changing the orientation.
