3.9.2 Constants

The following orientation constants are used by the OrientationEventFilter class. Callbacks which have been connected to a Sensor object that utilises the OrientationEventFilter event filter will receive one of these constants as an argument upon a detected orientation change. The constants' names are the side of the device that is currently turned upwards from the user's point of view. (For example FRONT means that the device is lying on its back - its front side is turned upwards.)

orientation.TOP: Represents the orientation where the device is held upwards.

orientation.BOTTOM: Represents the orientation where the device is held upside down.

orientation.LEFT: Represents the orientation where the side of the device that is left of the display is turned downwards.

orientation.RIGHT: Represents the orientation where the side of the device that is right of the display is turned downwards.

orientation.FRONT: Represents the orientation where the device is lying on its back, i.e. the front side points upwards.

orientation.BACK: Represents the orientation where the device is lying on its front, i.e. the back side points upwards.
