Question

Is there a method to detect if the Auto-Rotation Lock of the device is on or off? My app needs to access that method to lock the orientation during runtime.

Answer 1

Add this in your Manifest file in your activity for the fixed orientation you want for your Activity

android:screenOrientation="portrait"

like

<activity android:name=".Settings" android:label="@string/app_name" android:screenOrientation="portrait">

or in java code you can use

setRequestedOrientation (ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
