I'm listening to a deviceorientationabsolute event like this (on ngOnInit):
this.deviceOrientationEvent = this.onDeviceOrientation.bind(this);
window.addEventListener("deviceorientationabsolute", this.deviceOrientationEvent);
I want to stop listening to that event on ngOnDestroy. I tried this:
window.removeEventListener("deviceorientationabsolute", this.deviceOrientationEvent);
But I can still see in the console that it's listening to the event.
What am I doing wrong?
Instead of handling through window.addEventListener method you can handle it using @HostListener as below
@HostListener('window:deviceorientationabsolute', ['$event'])
deviceOrientationAbsoluteEvent(event) { ... }
It will be automatically removed when component will be destroyed
