Can I Get The Orientation Of A Photo Taken In My App If I Limit The Activity's Orientation To Portrait Only In My Manifest?

I don't want to support landscape UI at all across my app, but I want to be able to automatically rotate the photos users take in landscape mode. Currently if a user takes a photo

Solution 1:

    //Yes, find the Orientation Using ExifInterface
       try{
            File imageFile = new File(imagePath);
            ExifInterface exif = new ExifInterface(imageFile.getAbsolutePath());
            int orientation = exif.getAttributeInt(
                                ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION,
                                ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL);

     // dont know exactly but, orientation for landscape may be 180 or 270.
     //  From the orientation value you can convert image according to orientation and can be set it vertically, horrizentally as below

             int rotate = 0;
             switch (orientation) {
                case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_270:
                     rotate = 270;
                     break;
                case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_180:
                     rotate = 180;
                     break;
                case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90:
                     rotate = 90;
                     break;
              }
              Log.e(Common.TAG, "Exif orientation: " + orientation);
            }
       catch (Exception e) {
           e.printStackTrace();
       }

      // Now Change image as your wish...
      // Image rotation //
      Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
      matrix.postRotate(orientation);
      Bitmap cropped = Bitmap.createBitmap(scaled, x, y, width, height, matrix, true);
