How to check if auto-rotate screen setting is ON/OFF in Android 4.0+

Question

I think each android device has an abitily to on/off auto-rotating function. Usually you can find it in settings->display->auto-rotate on/off . How can I read this setting state from my application? How can I access to this setting value? If you can share a code snipped i'd be very appreciate it.

Use the following code:

Try this:

 public static void setAutoOrientationEnabled(ContentResolver resolver, boolean enabled)
        {
              Settings.System.putInt( context.getContentResolver(), Settings.System.ACCELEROMETER_ROTATION, enabled ? 1 : 0);
        }
