Detailed Description¶

The orientation sensor reports the orientation of the device. As it operates below the UI level it does not report on or even know how the UI is rotated. Most importantly this means that this sensor cannot be used to detect if a device is in portrait or landscape mode.

This sensor is useful to detect that a particular side of the device is pointing up.

QOrientationReading Units¶

The orientation sensor returns the orientation of the device using the pre-defined values found in the Orientation enum.

class Orientation¶

This enum represents the orientation of the device.

To explain the meaning of each value it is helpful to refer to the following diagram.

The orientations are shown here in order: TopUp, TopDown, LeftUp, RightUp, FaceUp, FaceDown.

Constant

Description

QOrientationReading.Undefined

The orientation is unknown.

QOrientationReading.TopUp

The Top edge of the device is pointing up.

QOrientationReading.TopDown

The Top edge of the device is pointing down.

QOrientationReading.LeftUp

The Left edge of the device is pointing up.

QOrientationReading.RightUp

The Right edge of the device is pointing up.

QOrientationReading.FaceUp

The Face of the device is pointing up.

QOrientationReading.FaceDown

The Face of the device is pointing down.

Constant	Description
QOrientationReading.Undefined	The orientation is unknown.
QOrientationReading.TopUp	The Top edge of the device is pointing up.
QOrientationReading.TopDown	The Top edge of the device is pointing down.
QOrientationReading.LeftUp	The Left edge of the device is pointing up.
QOrientationReading.RightUp	The Right edge of the device is pointing up.
QOrientationReading.FaceUp	The Face of the device is pointing up.
QOrientationReading.FaceDown	The Face of the device is pointing down.

It should be noted that the orientation sensor reports the orientation of the device and not the UI. The orientation of the device will not change just because the UI is rotated. This means this sensor cannot be used to detect if a device is in portrait or landscape mode.

Note

Properties can be used directly when from __feature__ import true_property is used or via accessor functions otherwise.

property orientationᅟ: QOrientationReading.Orientation¶

This property holds the orientation of the device..

The unit is an enumeration describing the orientation of the device.
