As a followup, I have now found at least 3 ways do determine the orientation, all of which use different constants with different values.
* There is the aforementioned Activity.getRequestedOrientation which uses the ActivityInfo constants wherein landscape=0 and portrait=1 * Then there is getResources().getConfiguration().orientation which uses the Configuration constants wherein landscape=2 and portrait=1 * Then there is getWindow().getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getOrientation(). I am not sure what constants this is using, but it returns exactly the opposite of the first: landscape=1 and portrait=0 There are probably more. Does anyone know the correct or preferred method?
