Question

I am new the Android. In my application development, I want to handle the display (screen) rotation. Is there any listener is available to handle this event? Or is there any alternate way to handle this situation?

Thanks & Regards,

Bala

Let’s say you want to handle the orientation change yourself, use configChanges="orientation" in your activity in the manifest.xml

<activity android:name=".MyActivity"
          android:configChanges="orientation"
          android:label="@string/app_name">

Now when one of these configurations change, MyActivity is not restarted. Instead, the Activity receives a call to onConfigurationChanged().
