The values of Orientation are ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT and

Config your Activity with the Activity Element

     android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"

Rewrite the callback method

public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {

    super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);

    if (this.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation ==

    Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {

    Log.d(TAG, "++ ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE ++");

   

    } else if (this.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation

    == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT){

    Log.d(TAG, "++ ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT ++");

    }

}
