Cordova Screen Orientation Plugin

Cordova plugin to set/lock the screen orientation in a common way for iOS, Android, WP8 and Blackberry 10. This plugin is based on Screen Orientation API so the api matches the current spec.

The plugin adds the following to the screen object (window.screen):

// lock the device orientation
.lockOrientation('portrait')

// unlock the orientation
.unlockOrientation()

// current orientation
.orientation

Install

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-screen-orientation

Supported Orientations

portrait-primary

The orientation is in the primary portrait mode.

portrait-secondary

The orientation is in the secondary portrait mode.

landscape-primary

The orientation is in the primary landscape mode.

landscape-secondary

The orientation is in the secondary landscape mode.

portrait

The orientation is either portrait-primary or portrait-secondary (sensor).

landscape

The orientation is either landscape-primary or landscape-secondary (sensor).

any

orientation is unlocked - all orientations are supported.

Usage

// set to either landscape
screen.lockOrientation('landscape');

// allow user rotate
screen.unlockOrientation();

// access current orientation
console.log('Orientation is ' + screen.orientation);

Events

Both android and iOS will fire the orientationchange event on the window object. For this version of the plugin use the window object if you require notification.

Example usage

window.addEventListener("orientationchange", function(){
    console.log(screen.orientation); // e.g. portrait
});

Android Notes

The screen.orientation property will not update when the phone is rotated 180 degrees.

BB10 Notes

Wraps the com.blackberry.app plugin functions, auto installed as a dependancy.

<<<<<<< HEAD

WP8 Notes

Windows phone does not support specification or primary and secondary orientations. If called with a specific orientation the plugin will just apply the landscape or portait orientation.

W8.1 Notes

Windows 8.1 Applicaitons (runtime/metro applications) will only display orientation changes if the device has some sort of accelerometer. The internal state of the "orientation" will still be kept, but the actual screen won't rotate unless the device supports it.
