addOrientationListener calls listener function infinitely

See original GitHub issue

I have the following code:

  componentWillMount() {
    Orientation.addOrientationListener(this.orientationDidChange)
  }
  orientationDidChange = orientation => {
    console.log(orientation)
  }

This is what I end up seeing in the debugger: Screen Shot 2019-06-08 at 3 38 54 PM

Right now this is happening on Android and I have no yet tested it on iOS. Not sure why this is happening. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi @pouyaemami, one more thing maybe you would like to use addDeviceOrientationListener instead addOrientationListener (loop) this method only run one time, I’m using it and works perfectly.
