Screen orientation - Xamarin
When using Xamarin.Forms, device orientation is set at the project level.
- For Android: open
MainActivity.cs
and decorate theMainActivity
class with[Activity (ScreenOrientation = ScreenOrientation.FullUser)]
. - For iOS: open
Info.plist
and check allDevice Orientation
checkboxes.
You can listen to orientation changes by using the DeviceDisplay
class included in Xamarin.Essentials.
public class OrientationChanges
{
public OrientationChanges()
{
// Subscribe to changes of screen metrics
DeviceDisplay.MainDisplayInfoChanged += OnMainDisplayInfoChanged;
}
void OnMainDisplayInfoChanged(object sender, DisplayInfoChangedEventArgs e)
{
// Process changes
var displayInfo = e.DisplayInfo;
}
}
