Is there a way to detect the screen orientation in a Servoy Android app?

I have tried svyphonegapPhonegapOrientation, but this plugin has no getScreenOrientation function.

Currently no API exposed for that in svyPhonegap. We can implement that as the native plugin already supports it. Will try to get it into the next version.
