If it doesn't exactly serve your needs, just copy the code into your own app and tweak as desired: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=core/java/android/view/OrientationEventListener.java For example there is a much more specialized version of this that the window manager uses for rotating the screen: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=core/java/android/view/WindowOrientationListener.java On Fri, Dec 18, 2009 at 10:50 AM, Mark Wyszomierski <mar...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to detect landscape vs portrait orientation with the > following: > > public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) { > float pitch = event.values[2]; > if (pitch <= 45 && pitch >= -45) { > // portrait > } > else if (pitch < -45) { > // landscape > } > else if (pitch > 45) { > // landscape > } > } > > anyone have something more robust?
