I cant seem to get current orientation via either:

getResources().getConfiguration().orientation
or
(WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE).getDefaultDisplay
().getOrientation();

after setting up a preferred orientation via:

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);

Is there something I am doing wrong here? Is there a different way to
access the current orientation of the phone?

Thanks!
