Android Question ? GET ScreenOrientation

[GMan]

Is it possible to GET the actual ScreenOrientation ?

I searched the forum, but all questions belongs to SET it...

P.S.: i know that its working this way, but think maybe there is a better way:

Dim Orientation As String
If Activity.Width > Activity.Height Then
    Orientation = "Landscape"
Else
    Orientation = "Portrait"
End If

What are you trying to do?

Gman, I use this way. Works fine.

I need a combination of the Accelerator +Y-Axis (away from me) and the ScreenOrientation (for users that dont have a Gyro build in).
So i used the written way and that works but thought, i can get the orientation by an own event.

If you are interested with other orientations (reverse portrait and reverse landscape) then you can use the code posted here: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/reverse-screen-orientation-and-compass.21565/#post-124997

This could be usefull

Sub GetOrientation As Int
   Dim r As Reflector
   r.Target = r.GetContext
   r.Target = r.RunMethod("getResources")
   r.Target = r.RunMethod("getConfiguration")
  
   Dim Result As Int = r.GetField("orientation")
   Return Result
  
End Sub
