@wonday I see this issue is closed, but I am experiencing it as a bug in this new package for Android.

In the previous react-native-orientation package, the event listeners would not emit the orientation changes if the phone auto-rotate was set to off by the user. Now in this new package, it does.

This is unfortunate because I could really use this feature that has been added to this package, getting the device orientation even when we have locked the orientation via JS code. But I also need to be able to disregard all orientation logic if the user has locked the auto-rotate status of their device.

EDIT: I am mistaken, the previous library doesn't do this. But this issue is still valid, I need a way to disregard all orientation logic if the user has selected auto-rotate to be false

I tried this approach with react-native-orientation package and did no work, I wanted to validate that this approach will work with this package before making the change.
thanks @wonday

This is a real issue. Can we reopen it?

merged and released to v1.0.22

This is not a valid solution or rather to be precise, this solution is incomplete.

Consider device is locked to portrait mode

If login is implemented in portrait mode only and the rest of the pages supports all the orientations,
Inside Login Page ComponentDidMount, call the method to lock to portrait mode
Inside Login Page ComponentDidUnmount, that is when moving into the next pages of the application,

// Inside Component Did Mount
Orientation.getAutoRotateState(s => {
    if (s) Orientation.unlockAllOrientations();
});

After entering the page, unlock all the orientations. there is no event emitter to listen to changes in autorotate state.

Instead of bringing the previous functionality where events are not emitted when autorotate is off, this solution provided is incomplete.
