javascript - Check if device supports ScreenOrientation.lock() - Uncaught Error screen.orientation.lock() is not available on th

I'm following the documentation for ScreenOrientation.lock() but I can't get it to work as I want.

When calling window.screen.orientation.lock("portrait"); on Chrome desktop I get the error screen.orientation.lock() is not available on this device. as a Uncaught Error. Is there anyway to check if a device supports locking?

I have already put "orientation":"portrait" into manifest.json but this is only default orientation and not a lock.

Side notes:

I had some trouble understanding how to call the method. Example errors if anyone finds this thread:

ScreenOrientation.prototype.lock("portrait");

window.ScreenOrientation.prototype.lock("portrait");

Leads to this exception:

Unhandled Rejection (TypeError): Failed to execute 'lock' on 'ScreenOrientation': Illegal invocation

(ScreenOrientation as any).lock("portrait");

Leads to this exception:

TypeError: ScreenOrientation.lock is not a function

• A fallback method would be to catch the exception. Doesn’t strictly answer the “detect if” pre-hand. – user2864740 Commented May 12, 2020 at 8:43

window.screen.orientation.lock() returns a Promise. A promise will call one of the functions that you provide to a chained then() method, depending on whether the promise was resolved (success) or rejected (failure).

You could make your call to window.screen.orientation.lock() like this:

window.screen.orientation
    .lock("portrait")
    .then(
        success => console.log(success),
        failure => console.log(failure)
    )

You will probably want to put something more useful in the resolve and reject methods, but this will at least catch the rejection and prevent an Unhandled Rejection error from being thrown.

I think rotation in mobile requires an event listener to handle screen.orientation.lock error. This code works for me

The .main-app is a body tag class.

In your HTML code add a button like:

    <div id="lock-landscape-btn" class="hidden">Lock</div>
    <div id="unlock-orientation" class="hidden">unLock</div>

In your JS code/file add an EventListener like:

    function rotateScreen () {

        document.querySelector('#lock-landscape-btn').addEventListener('click', function () {

            if( /Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry|IEMobile|Opera Mini/i.test(navigator.userAgent) ) {

                if(document.querySelector(".main-app").requestFullscreen) {
                    document.querySelector(".main-app").requestFullscreen();
                }else if(document.querySelector(".main-app").webkitRequestFullScreen) {
                    document.querySelector(".main-app").webkitRequestFullScreen();
                }

                screen.orientation.lock("landscape-primary")
                    .then(function() {
                        console.log('landscape-primary');
                    })
                    .catch(function(error) {
                        console.log(error);
                    });
            }

        });

        document.querySelector("#unlock-orientation").addEventListener('click', function() {
            screen.orientation.unlock();
        });
    };
