Getting device orientation in Swift

Question

I was wondering how I can get the current device orientation in Swift? I know there are examples for Objective-C, however I haven\'t been able to get it working in Swift.

Answer 1

Apple recently got rid of the idea of Landscape vs. Portrait and prefers we use screen size. However, this works:

override func viewWillTransitionToSize(size: CGSize, withTransitionCoordinator coordinator: UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinator) {
    if UIDevice.currentDevice().orientation.isLandscape.boolValue {
        print("landscape")
    } else {
        print("portrait")
    }
}
