How to rotate android application screen portrait to landscape and landscape to portrait in Appium using java?

Android application testing, sometimes we need to check everything display and working fine in portrait and landscape orientation. In this tutorial, I am going to show how to rotate screen orientation from portrait to landscape and landscape to portrait using rotate() method of appium.

We will use getOrientation() method to get current screen orientation.
We will use rotate() method to change orientation from landscape to portrait and portrait to landscape.
driver.rotate(ScreenOrientation.PORTRAIT) will rotate screen orientation from landscape to portrait.

driver.rotate(ScreenOrientation.LANDSCAPE) will rotate screen orientation from portrait to landscape.
