Since ver. 2.26.0
Copy URL
void
 useOrientationEventListener(
boolean

By default, Display rotation is used to determine the device rotation.

The way how the device orientation is detected, affects camera frames rotation on local and remote side if auto-rotate is disabled on a mobile phone:

  • OrientationEventListener will detect landscape orientation
  • Display rotation will always report portrait orientation

The method should be called in idle camera state, i.e. video is currently not sending in a call.

Parameters

  • use:

    boolean

    True, if OrientationEventListener should be used to detect the device orientation, otherwise Display rotation is used.

Returns

  • type:

    void
