How to read orientation of Android Phone

I want to read orientation of the phone. However when I use

mOrientation = mSensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ORIENTATION);

It shows a warning The field Sensor.TYPE_ORIENTATION is deprecated.

I also have a warning when reading the gyroscope value.

Could someone help me to read these two data. Thanks in advance.

You can check out this post: Check orientation on Android phone

In short, use

 getResources().getConfiguration().orientation

Of course, do not setup orientation by yourself in the manifest.xml.

The current configuration, as used to determine which resources to retrieve etc, as available from the Resources' Configuration object as:

getResources().getConfiguration().orientation

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/res/Configuration.html#orientation

or

    mWindowManager =  (WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);
    mDisplay = mWindowManager.getDefaultDisplay();

    Log.d("ORIENTATION_TEST", "getOrientation(): " + mDisplay.getOrientation());
