Android Detecting Screen orientation

Below code works magnificiently for detecting whether the Activity is in portrait or landscape orientation

 public static int getScreenOrientation(Activity activity) {

        int rotation = activity.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRotation();

        int orientation = activity.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;

        if (orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT) {

            if (rotation == Surface.ROTATION_0 || rotation == Surface.ROTATION_270) {

                return ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT;

            } else {

                return ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_REVERSE_PORTRAIT;

            }

        }

        if (orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {

            if (rotation == Surface.ROTATION_0 || rotation == Surface.ROTATION_90) {

                return ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE;

            } else {

                return ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_REVERSE_LANDSCAPE;

            }

        }

        return ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_UNSPECIFIED;

    }
