Listen on orientation changes

Question

Trying to listen to orientation change in my android program, but nothing works. My solutions: Added android:configChanges="orientation" to my activity in AndroidManifest and added this in my Activity class:

@Override
    public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
        super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
        Log.d(TAG_ZT, "Config changed.");
        navigation.setSelectedItemId(R.id.navigation_translator);

    }

But it doesn't work.

Next my solution was adding:

OrientationEventListener orientationEventListener = new OrientationEventListener(MainActivity.this.getApplicationContext()) {
        @Override
        public void onOrientationChanged(int orientation) {
            Log.d(TAG_ZT, "onOrientationChanged: "+orientation);
            navigation.setSelectedItemId(R.id.navigation_translator);
        }
    };

But also No work. What I'm doing wrong?

You must be using API level 13 or higher. In this case use configChanges="orientation|screenSize" otherwise onConfigurationChanged will not be called.
