react-native-orientation-manager
A React Native module to retrieve interface/device orientation, listen to orientation changes, and lock screen to a specific orientation.
Supported platforms
- [x] iOS
- [x] Android
- [x] Windows
Installation
Using npm
npm install react-native-orientation-manager
Using yarn
yarn add react-native-orientation-manager
iOS Only:
Make sure pods are installed by navigating to the iOS project and running:
bundle exec pod install
Additional Configuration
To ensure that the module is fully initialized during app startup, include this import statement in your app's entry file (index.*
or App.*
):
import "react-native-orientation-manager";
For example:
import "react-native-orientation-manager";
import { AppRegistry } from "react-native";
import App from "./src/App";
import { name as appName } from "./app.json";
AppRegistry.registerComponent(appName, () => App);
Android
Add the following code to MainApplication.java
which is probably located at android/app/src/main/java/<your package name>/MainApplication.java
// ... code
import com.kroosx4v.orientationmanager.OrientationManagerActivityLifecycleCallbacks;
public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication
{
// ...code
@Override
public void onCreate()
{
// ...code
registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(new OrientationManagerActivityLifecycleCallbacks());
}
}
iOS
Add the following code to your project's AppDelegate.mm
// ...code
#import "RNOrientationManager.h"
@implementation AppDelegate
// ...code
- (UIInterfaceOrientationMask)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window
{
return [RNOrientationManager getSupportedInterfaceOrientations];
}
@end
Usage
Retrieve current interface and device orientations:
import Orientations from "react-native-orientation-manager";
import type { InterfaceOrientation, DeviceOrientation } from "react-native-orientation-manager";
const currentInterfaceOrientation: InterfaceOrientation = Orientations.interfaceOrientation;
const currentDeviceOrientation: DeviceOrientation = Orientations.deviceOrientation;
Use current interface and device orientations as state hooks:
import { Text } from "react-native";
import { useInterfaceOrientation, useDeviceOrientation } from "react-native-orientation-manager";
function OrientationValues(): React.JSX.Element
{
const interfaceOrientation = useInterfaceOrientation();
const deviceOrientation = useDeviceOrientation();
return (
<>
<Text style={{ color: "#841584" }}>
Interface orientation: {interfaceOrientation.getName()}
</Text>
<Text style={{ color: "#841584" }}>
Device orientation: {deviceOrientation.getName()}
</Text>
</>
);
}
Lock interface orientation to a specific orientation:
Using functions:
import { lockToLandscape, lockToPortrait, unlockAllOrientations, resetInterfaceOrientationSetting } from "react-native-orientation-manager";
lockToLandscape();
// ...or
lockToPortrait();
// ...or
unlockAllOrientations();
// remove lock
resetInterfaceOrientationSetting();
Using OrientationLocker
component:
import { View } from "react-native";
import { OrientationLocker } from "react-native-orientation-manager";
function LandscapeOnlyScreen(): React.JSX.Element
{
return (
<View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
<OrientationLocker lock="Landscape" />
</View>
);
}
Listen to orientation changes:
import { addInterfaceOrientationChangeListener, addDeviceOrientationChangeListener } from "react-native-orientation-manager";
import type { InterfaceOrientation, DeviceOrientation } from "react-native-orientation-manager";
const listenerRemover = addInterfaceOrientationChangeListener((interfaceOrientation: InterfaceOrientation) => {
if (interfaceOrientation.isPortrait())
{
// ...do something
}
});
const listenerRemover2 = addDeviceOrientationChangeListener((deviceOrientation: DeviceOrientation) => {
if (deviceOrientation.isPortrait())
{
// ...do something
}
});
Do something every time the interface orientation changes while a screen is focused (requires @react-navigation/native 5x or higher):
import { useInterfaceOrientationWhenFocusedEffect } from "react-native-orientation-manager";
import type { InterfaceOrientation } from "react-native-orientation-manager";
import { useNavigation } from "@react-navigation/native";
function SomeComponent(): React.JSX.Element
{
const navigation = useNavigation();
useInterfaceOrientationWhenFocusedEffect((interfaceOrientation: InterfaceOrientation) => {
if (!interfaceOrientation.isLandscape())
{
// Only allow landscape orientation in this screen with the possibility of leaving it when orientation changes to portrait
navigation.goBack();
return;
}
// optionally return a cleanup function
return () => {
// ...do something
};
});
}

Hooks:
| Hook | Return Type | Functionality
| --- | --- | --- |
| useInterfaceOrientation()
| InterfaceOrientation | Uses current interface orientation as a state |
| useDeviceOrientation()
| DeviceOrientation | Uses current device orientation as a state |
| useInterfaceOrientationEffect(
effect: (interfaceOrientation: InterfaceOrientation) => CleanupFunction \| undefined,
dependencies: any[] = [],
)
| void | This runs on mount and subsequently whenever the interface orientation changes or when dependencies change during a re-render |
| useDeviceOrientationEffect(
effect: (deviceOrientation: DeviceOrientation) => CleanupFunction \| undefined,
dependencies: any[] = [],
)
| void | This runs on mount and subsequently whenever the device orientation changes or when dependencies change during a re-render |
| useInterfaceOrientationWhenFocusedEffect(
effect: (interfaceOrientation: InterfaceOrientation) => CleanupFunction \| undefined,
dependencies: any[] = [],
)
| void | This hook runs under three conditions:When screen has just been focusedWhen interface orientation changes while screen is focusedWhen a re-render occurs and dependencies change while screen is focusedSecond argument (dependencies) is optional. When it's not given or an empty array is given, the third condition does not apply.You can provide a cleanup function that gets called before the effect function must run again or when screen loses focus |
