Android Code Snippet detecting screen orientation - current vs. new

When my app's activity paused, I needed to find out if it was just a orientation change (as opposed to exiting the app or powering off the display).

My traditional code to detect current orientation had been:

Sub getCurrentOrientation As Int
    If Activity.width < Activity.height Then
        Log("getCurrentOrientation = portrait")
        Return ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT
    Else
        Log("getCurrentOrientation = landscape")
        Return ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE
    End If
End Sub

...but when I called it from activity_pause, that just gave me the current (pre-pause) orientation. I wanted to know the "new" orientation (if any).

I found Pete Simpson's orientation code, and noticed that it used GetDeviceLayoutValues instead of activity values. It turns out that GetDeviceLayoutValues reports the "live" values (after the orientation change), so this code can tell me about the new orientation that will be in effect after Pause/Resume:

Sub getNewOrientation As Int
    If GetDeviceLayoutValues.Width < GetDeviceLayoutValues.height Then
        Log("getNewOrientation = portrait")
        Return ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT
    Else
        Log("getNewOrientation = landscape")
        Return ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE
    End If
End Sub

Hope this helps!
