<h1>Cordova Screen Orientation Plugin</h1>
<p>Cordova plugin to set/lock the screen orientation in a common way for iOS, Android, and windows-uwp. This plugin is based on <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/screen-orientation/">Screen Orientation API</a> so the api matches the current spec.</p>
<p>The plugin adds the following to the screen object (<code>window.screen</code>):</p>
<div class="language-js highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1">// lock the device orientation</span>
<span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">orientation</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">lock</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="dl">'</span><span class="s1">portrait</span><span class="dl">'</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="c1">// unlock the orientation</span>
<span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">orientation</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">unlock</span><span class="p">()</span>
<span class="c1">// current orientation</span>
<span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">orientation</span>
</code></pre></div></div>
<h2>Install</h2>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-screen-orientation
</code></pre></div></div>

<h2>Usage</h2>
<div class="language-js highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1">// set to either landscape</span>
<span class="nx">screen</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">orientation</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">lock</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="dl">'</span><span class="s1">landscape</span><span class="dl">'</span><span class="p">);</span>
<span class="c1">// allow user rotate</span>
<span class="nx">screen</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">orientation</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">unlock</span><span class="p">();</span>
<span class="c1">// access current orientation</span>
<span class="nx">console</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">log</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="dl">'</span><span class="s1">Orientation is </span><span class="dl">'</span> <span class="o">+</span> <span class="nx">screen</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">orientation</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">type</span><span class="p">);</span>
</code></pre></div></div>
<h2>Events</h2>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Example usage</h3>
<div class="language-js highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="nb">window</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">addEventListener</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="dl">"</span><span class="s2">orientationchange</span><span class="dl">"</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="kd">function</span><span class="p">(){</span>
<span class="nx">console</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">log</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nx">screen</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">orientation</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">type</span><span class="p">);</span> <span class="c1">// e.g. portrait</span>
<span class="p">});</span>
</code></pre></div></div>
<p>The &#39;change&#39; event listener has also been added to the screen.orientation object.</p>
<h3>Example usage</h3>
<div class="language-js highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="nx">screen</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">orientation</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">addEventListener</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="dl">'</span><span class="s1">change</span><span class="dl">'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="kd">function</span><span class="p">(){</span>
<span class="nx">console</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">log</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nx">screen</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">orientation</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">type</span><span class="p">);</span> <span class="c1">// e.g. portrait</span>
<span class="p">});</span>
<span class="c1">// OR</span>
<span class="nx">screen</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">orientation</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">onchange</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="kd">function</span><span class="p">(){</span><span class="nx">console</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">log</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nx">screen</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">orientation</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">type</span><span class="p">);</span>
<span class="p">};</span>
</code></pre></div></div>
<h2>Android Notes</h2>
<p>The <strong>screen.orientation</strong> property will not update when the phone is <a href="http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/events/orientationchange.html">rotated 180 degrees</a>.</p>
<h2>Windows UWP Notes</h2>
<p>Windows store apps (windows-uwp) will only display orientation changes if the device has some sort of accelerometer. The internal state of the &quot;orientation&quot; will still be kept, but the actual screen won&#39;t rotate unless the device supports it.</p>
