Android changing video view to landscape

My application is in Portrait mode and it has one video view in it, on some events i want to rotate only the video view to landscape mode is it possible to do so?

From the code can we modify a single view to be of landscape mode as other will remain in portrait mode?

Also i have onOrientationChanged listener in my activity which provides orientation values as device orientation changes. how can i determine if device is in landscape or portrait mode from these values?

Yeap, it's possible. You can get the orientation in runtime with this code:

Display display = ((WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay();
//orientation will contain Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT or Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE
int orientation = display.getOrientation();

So, if you want to make something when changing the orientation you can override the onConfigurationChanged method.

And if you want to change the orientation in runtime you can use this (in example, change to portrait):

setRequestedOrientation (ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
