Since 180° rotation are not detected by onConfigurationChanged,

See better answer here: How do I detect screen rotation

If you are more interested in when an orientation change triggers a redisplay of the layout, you might want to check out this: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.OnLayoutChangeListener.html

"Interface definition for a callback to be invoked when the layout bounds of a view changes due to layout processing."

On some phones orentation change event fires before actual resize event. Do not recommend u to use orientation change event when u need to know when form is resized.

Just use $(window).resize(function(){ stuff to do })

If u need to have dynamic resize event and change it at some point u can use structure like that

function ResizeEventHandler (){
  var resizeEvent = function(){}

  this.ResizeEvent = function(value){
        if (value!=null) resizeEvent = value;               
        else return resizeEvent()
  }
}

var ResizeEventHandlerInstance = new ResizeEventHandler();

$(window).resize(function(){ ResizeEventHandlerInstance.ResizeEvent();   });

function YourDinamicalEventSetterFunction(){
    ResizeEventHandlerInstance.ResizeEvent(function(){
               alert('resized');
    });
}

basically when u need to change resize event -> change ResizeEventHandlerInstance... and you will not need to unbind event all the time when u want to change it

You need to read up on Handling Runtime Changes.

It explains the old way of doing handling stuff like orientation change.

Since Fragments was introduced, they have implemented a new way of doing it (similar to the old one) - but if you don't use Fragments it makes no sense using it.
