Thanks all. I modified Pilot_51's solution, to make sure I restored to the previous state. I also threw in a change to support non-landscape and non-portrait screens (but haven't tested it on such a screen).
int rotation = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRotation();
switch(rotation) {
case Surface.ROTATION_180:
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_REVERSE_PORTRAIT);
break;
case Surface.ROTATION_270:
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_REVERSE_LANDSCAPE);
break;
case Surface.ROTATION_0:
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
break;
case Surface.ROTATION_90:
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
break;
}
I have found a combination of existing rotation/orientation values are needed to cover the four possibilities; there's the portrait/landscape values and the natural orientation of the device. Let's say the devices' natural orientation will have a rotation value of 0 degrees when the screen is in it's "natural" portrait or landscape orientation. Similarly, there will be a rotation value of 90 degrees when it's in landscape or portrait (notice it's opposite of the orientation @ 0 degrees). So the rotation values that are not 0 or 90 degrees will imply "Reverse" orientation. Ok, here's some code:
public enum eScreenOrientation
{
PORTRAIT (ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT),
LANDSCAPE (ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE),
PORTRAIT_REVERSE (ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_REVERSE_PORTRAIT),
LANDSCAPE_REVERSE (ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_REVERSE_LANDSCAPE),
UNSPECIFIED_ORIENTATION (ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_UNSPECIFIED);
public final int activityInfoValue;
eScreenOrientation ( int orientation )
{
activityInfoValue = orientation;
}
}
public eScreenOrientation currentScreenOrientation ( )
{
final int rotation = ((WindowManager) getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay().getRotation();
final int orientation = getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;
switch ( orientation )
{
case Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT:
if ( rotation == Surface.ROTATION_0 || rotation == Surface.ROTATION_90 )
return eScreenOrientation.PORTRAIT;
else
return eScreenOrientation.PORTRAIT_REVERSE;
case Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE:
if ( rotation == Surface.ROTATION_0 || rotation == Surface.ROTATION_90 )
return eScreenOrientation.LANDSCAPE;
else
return eScreenOrientation.LANDSCAPE_REVERSE;
default:
return eScreenOrientation.UNSPECIFIED_ORIENTATION;
}
}
public void lockScreenOrientation ( )
throws UnsupportedDisplayException
{
eScreenOrientation currentOrientation = currentScreenOrientation( );
if ( currentOrientation == eScreenOrientation.UNSPECIFIED_ORIENTATION )
throw new UnsupportedDisplayException("Unable to lock screen - unspecified orientation");
else
setRequestedOrientation( currentOrientation.activityInfoValue );
}
public void unlockScreenOrientation ( )
{
setRequestedOrientation( ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_UNSPECIFIED );
}
I didn't like most of the answers here, since in the unlock they set it to UNSPECIFIED as opposed to the previous state. ProjectJourneyman did take it into account, which was great, but I preferred the locking code by Roy. So, my recommendation would be a mix of the two:
private int prevOrientation = ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_UNSPECIFIED;
private void unlockOrientation() {
setRequestedOrientation(prevOrientation);
}
