Getting orientation of the device?

Question

Hi,

I have a camera preview activity, which is forced to stay in landscape mode.

Is there a way I can tell the current orientation of the phone (not the screen orientation).

Basically I want to know if the user is holding the phone in portrait mode, or in landscape mode, so I can rotate the output captured bitmap correctly (right now it just always outputs in landscape mode).

Thanks

You can also implement Application.onConfigurationChanged() to respond to orientation changes without having to register a SensorEventListener. It might be an easier way to go if you want to customize the layout depending on the phone orientation.
