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

Swift 3+

Basically:

NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.didOrientationChange(_:)), name: .UIDeviceOrientationDidChange, object: nil)

@objc func didOrientationChange(_ notification: Notification) {
    //const_pickerBottom.constant = 394
    print("other")
    switch UIDevice.current.orientation {
        case .landscapeLeft, .landscapeRight:
            print("landscape")
        case .portrait, .portraitUpsideDown:
            print("portrait")
        default:
            print("other")
    }
}
