react-native-orientation-controller

A react-native library for obtaining and controlling current device or application orientation

This library is a fork of this library by Ken Wheeler. We thank him.

###Getting Started

• Run npm install --save react-native-orientation-controller

Install with RNPM

• npm install -g rnpm
• rnpm link react-native-orientation-controller

Or Manual Installation

Android

Add to android/settings.gradle:

include ':react-native-orientation-controller'
project(':react-native-orientation-controller').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-orientation-controller/android')

Add the compile project line to android/app/build.gradle (inside dependencies):

dependencies {
    // ... other content ... 
    compile project(':react-native-orientation-controller')
}

Inside MainActivity.java (normally somewhere here android/app/src/main/java/com/<your-app-name>/MainActivity.java) add import com.inprogress.ReactOrientationController.ReactOrientationController; and new ReactOrientationController(this) like in the example below

import com.inprogress.ReactOrientationController.ReactOrientationController; // <<< ADD THIS

/* ... other content ... */

    @Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
        return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
            new MainReactPackage(),
            new ReactOrientationController(this) // <<< AND THIS
            /* ... other packages can be here ... */
        );
    }

Usage

Import the library:

var Orientation = require('react-native-orientation-controller');

####rotate(orientation)

This method will change the current orientation of the device of 90° for parameter=1, 180° for parameter=2, 270° for parameter=3 :

componentDidMount(){
  Orientation.rotate(parameter);
}

####getOrientation(callback)

This method will return the current orientation of the device, the current orientation of the application, the device model and the screen size in the form of a callback:

componentDidMount(){
  Orientation.getOrientation(
    (deviceOrientation, applicationOrientation, device, size) => {
      console.log(deviceOrientation, applicationOrientation, device, size);
    }
  );
}

####addListener(callback)

This method will add a listener that will call the callback anytime the orientation changes:

_setOrientation(deviceOrientation, applicationOrientation, device, size) {
   console.log(deviceOrientation, applicationOrientation, device, size);
},
componentDidMount(){
  this.orientationListener = Orientation.addListener(this._setOrientation);
}

####removeListener(callback)

This method removes the listener you added in componentDidMount:

componentWillUnmount() {
  this.orientationListener.remove(); 
}
