# Cordova Screen Orientation Plugin
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Cordova plugin to set/lock the screen orientation in a common way for iOS, Android, and windows-uwp. This plugin is based on [Screen Orientation API](http://www.w3.org/TR/screen-orientation/) so the api matches the current spec.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The plugin adds the following to the screen object (`window.screen`):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
// lock the device orientation
|
||
|
|
.orientation.lock('portrait')
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// unlock the orientation
|
||
|
|
.orientation.unlock()
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// current orientation
|
||
|
|
.orientation
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Install

|

|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
// set to either landscape
|
||
|
|
screen.orientation.lock('landscape');
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// allow user rotate
|
||
|
|
screen.orientation.unlock();
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// access current orientation
|
||
|
|
console.log('Orientation is ' + screen.orientation.type);
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 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
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
window.addEventListener("orientationchange", function(){
|
||
|
|
console.log(screen.orientation.type); // e.g. portrait
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The 'change' event listener has also been added to the screen.orientation object.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Example usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
screen.orientation.addEventListener('change', function(){
|
||
|
|
console.log(screen.orientation.type); // e.g. portrait
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
// OR
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
screen.orientation.onchange = function(){console.log(screen.orientation.type);
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
## Android Notes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The __screen.orientation__ property will not update when the phone is [rotated 180 degrees](http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/events/orientationchange.html).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Windows UWP Notes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Windows store apps (windows-uwp) 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.
