How do I stop Listening to Orientation Events?

I have an issue, where I can not stop listening to orientation events once I hit the one I care about..

So to start listening, I use

Code:

this.controller.listen(document, 'orientationchange', this.handleOrientation.bindAsEventListener(this));

THen I drop into a bit of code that does something like:

Code:

MainAssistant.prototype.handleOrientation = function(event){

    Mojo.Log.info("<===========Entered handleOrientation")
    if (event.position == 4 || event.position == 5) {
        this.controller.stopListening(document, "orientationchange", this.handleOrientation.bindAsEventListener(this))
        
        Mojo.Controller.stageController.swapScene({
            'name': 'car-summary'
        }, this.fillUpSummary, this.mileageTrack.reverse());
    }
    Mojo.Log.info("<===========Exited handleOrientation")
    
    
};

For some reason, it keeps swappping scenes over and over, because, Im pretty sure, that stopListening command is not working :-( any ideas? Thanks!

The reason this isn't working is because you are not referencing the same event listener.

What you need to do is this:

Code:

this.hoHandle = his.handleOrientation.bindAsEventListener(this);
this.controller.listen(document, 'orientationchange', this.hoHandle);

and then:

Code:

 this.controller.stopListening(document, "orientationchange", this.hoHandle)
