How to detect my screen orientation in portrait locked screen in android?

Question

I want to find the camera screen orientation in locked portrait orientation mode, well I am using camera in my fragment class and I have already set my screen orientation as portrait, but the problem I am facing is, when I turn my camera from portrait to landscape its getting changed and I need to set capture button visible only when the camera is in portrait mode. Can anyone help me to get the orientation changes in portrait mode? Below is my code:

getActivity().setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

sensorManager.registerListener(new SensorEventListener() {

    int orientation=-1;;

    @Override
    public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {
        if (event.values[1] < 6.5 && event.values[1] > -6.5) {
            if (orientation!=1) {
                Log.d("Sensor", "Landscape");
            }
            orientation = 1;
        } else {
            if (orientation!=0) {
                Log.d("Sensor", "Portrait");
            }
            orientation = 0;
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor sensor, int accuracy) {
    }
}, sensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER), SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_GAME);

if (orientation == 0) {
    // capture button visisble
} else {
    // invisible
}

You can use OrientationEventListener for this. this is class that customise it.

public abstract class SimpleOrientationListener extends OrientationEventListener {

        public static final int CONFIGURATION_ORIENTATION_UNDEFINED = Configuration.ORIENTATION_UNDEFINED;
        private volatile int defaultScreenOrientation = CONFIGURATION_ORIENTATION_UNDEFINED;
        public int prevOrientation = OrientationEventListener.ORIENTATION_UNKNOWN;
        private Context ctx;
        private ReentrantLock lock = new ReentrantLock(true);

        public SimpleOrientationListener(Context context) {
            super(context);
            ctx = context;
        }

        public SimpleOrientationListener(Context context, int rate) {
            super(context, rate);
            ctx = context;
        }

        @Override
        public void onOrientationChanged(final int orientation) {
            int currentOrientation = OrientationEventListener.ORIENTATION_UNKNOWN;
            if (orientation >= 330 || orientation < 30) {
                currentOrientation = Surface.ROTATION_0;
            } else if (orientation >= 60 && orientation < 120) {
                currentOrientation = Surface.ROTATION_90;
            } else if (orientation >= 150 && orientation < 210) {
                currentOrientation = Surface.ROTATION_180;
            } else if (orientation >= 240 && orientation < 300) {
                currentOrientation = Surface.ROTATION_270;
            }

            if (prevOrientation != currentOrientation && orientation != OrientationEventListener.ORIENTATION_UNKNOWN) {
                prevOrientation = currentOrientation;
                if (currentOrientation != OrientationEventListener.ORIENTATION_UNKNOWN)
                    reportOrientationChanged(currentOrientation);
            }

        }

        private void reportOrientationChanged(final int currentOrientation) {

            int defaultOrientation = getDeviceDefaultOrientation();
            int orthogonalOrientation = defaultOrientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE ? Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT
                    : Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE;

            int toReportOrientation;

            if (currentOrientation == Surface.ROTATION_0 || currentOrientation == Surface.ROTATION_180)
                toReportOrientation = defaultOrientation;
            else
                toReportOrientation = orthogonalOrientation;

            onSimpleOrientationChanged(toReportOrientation);
        }

        /**
         * Must determine what is default device orientation (some tablets can have default landscape). Must be initialized when device orientation is defined.
         *
         * @return value of {@link Configuration#ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE} or {@link Configuration#ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT}
         */
        private int getDeviceDefaultOrientation() {
            if (defaultScreenOrientation == CONFIGURATION_ORIENTATION_UNDEFINED) {
                lock.lock();
                defaultScreenOrientation = initDeviceDefaultOrientation(ctx);
                lock.unlock();
            }
            return defaultScreenOrientation;
        }

        /**
         * Provides device default orientation
         *
         * @return value of {@link Configuration#ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE} or {@link Configuration#ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT}
         */
        private int initDeviceDefaultOrientation(Context context) {

            WindowManager windowManager = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
            Configuration config = context.getResources().getConfiguration();
            int rotation = windowManager.getDefaultDisplay().getRotation();

            boolean isLand = config.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE;
            boolean isDefaultAxis = rotation == Surface.ROTATION_0 || rotation == Surface.ROTATION_180;

            int result = CONFIGURATION_ORIENTATION_UNDEFINED;
            if ((isDefaultAxis && isLand) || (!isDefaultAxis && !isLand)) {
                result = Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE;
            } else {
                result = Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT;
            }
            return result;
        }

        /**
         * Fires when orientation changes from landscape to portrait and vice versa.
         *
         * @param orientation value of {@link Configuration#ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE} or {@link Configuration#ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT}
         */
        public abstract void onSimpleOrientationChanged(int orientation);

    }

Then where you want to detect orientation just call

SimpleOrientationListener mOrientationListener = new SimpleOrientationListener(
                context) {

            @Override
            public void onSimpleOrientationChanged(int orientation) {
                if(orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE){

                }else if(orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT){

                }
            }
        };
        mOrientationListener.enable();

You gonna have to use:

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
    super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);


    if (newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {

    } else if (newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT){
        //do your stuff with the button
    }
}

If you want your activity not to be recreated during orientation then use

android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize"

If you want your activity to be forced to stay portrait then you gonna have to use

in your manifest file in the activity you would like just try android:screenOrientation="portrait"

Hope it helps!!!

You can achieve the orientation change value, when your activity set to only Portrait or Landscape specific and you want to perform some action when orientation changes.

private OrientationEventListener orientationEventListener;

initialize this variable in your class and implement it's listener in onCreate

orientationEventListener = new OrientationEventListener(this) {
        @Override
        public void onOrientationChanged(int orientation) {

            Log.d("Orientation", orientation + " - " + currentOrientation);

            if (orientation >= 330 || orientation < 30) {
                currentOrientation = Surface.ROTATION_0;

            } else if (orientation >= 60 && orientation < 120) {
                currentOrientation = Surface.ROTATION_90;

            } else if (orientation >= 150 && orientation < 210) {
                currentOrientation = Surface.ROTATION_180;

            } else if (orientation >= 240 && orientation < 300) {
                currentOrientation = Surface.ROTATION_270;

            }
        }
    };

currentOrentation is integer value for later use in the activity other units.
