How to know the orientation of the screen?

Configuration configuration = getResources().getConfiguration();

    if (configuration.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE){
        //...
    }else{ 
        //...
    }

In this example, it checks if the position of the screen is landscape if not, it can only be in portrait (standing)!

Pretty simple.

To check for guidance, just use this code:

getResources().getConfiguration().orientation

There is a return for each type of guidance, which you can check below:

• ORIENTATION_UNDEFINED = 0
• ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT = 1
• ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE = 2
• ORIENTATION_SQUARE = 3
