android Auto-Rotate configuration on change listener

Question

I want to listen to 'Auto-Rotate' configuration change, not the device/system orientation, but to the toggle changes (on/off)
I believe i will have to sign up to configChange in the AndroidManifest and create a listener wherever i want but i'm not sure what is the correct config. I.E.

android:configChanges='??'

But maybe another way exists and not through the android:configChanges ...

https://mcmap.net/q/491681/-how-to-implement-a-contentobserver-for-call-logs take a look at that, should be what you want – Insociable

Try this link google.co.in/search?q=android:configchanges – Fornof

configChanges will only notify you when the rotation changes (among other things), you want to know when the Auto Rotate setting changes no? – Insociable

@Insociable , yes, you are right, it might be in another way ... i just thought it will be this way, Can you please expand how the first link should help ? i wasn't able to understand where the auto-rotate comes in.. – Electrocautery

@sankarV , sorry it doesn't help, already tried it. – Electrocautery

this should be more what you're looking for https://mcmap.net/q/89616/-is-there-a-broadcast-action-for-volume-changes you will need to tweak it to work for you but it should be fine, just remember that setting is in Accessibility. – Insociable

check my answer.. although it is downvoted by some one :( but my answer is what you wanted... it responds when the auto rotation button is clicke – Carl

Answer 1

you have to listen to Settings.System.ACCELEROMETER_ROTATION using a content observer.

To register the content observer

getContentResolver().registerContentObserver(Settings.System.getUriFor
(Settings.System.ACCELEROMETER_ROTATION),
true,rotationObserver );

And declare it here. The onChange method will be called when the rotation is changed.

private ContentObserver rotationObserver = new ContentObserver(new Handler()) {
        @Override
        public void onChange(boolean selfChange) {
           Do your task
        }
};

he does not want to know when the device has rotated, he want's to know when the auto-rotate setting in accessibility has changed. – Insociable

@Insociable I have posted exactly what he wanted.. From next time please check before downvoting – Carl
