iOS: Device orientation on load

UIInterfaceOrientation orientation = [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation];
if (o         


        

Answer 1

Tried all and no good results. So what I did, as I'm on an ipad, was to leave all the work to the splitViewController methods to invalidate the barButton:

For portrait:

- (void)splitViewController:(UISplitViewController *)svc willHideViewController:(UIViewController *)aViewController withBarButtonItem:(UIBarButtonItem *)barButtonItem forPopoverController: (UIPopoverController *)pc { NSlog(@"portrait");}

For landscape:

- (void)splitViewController:(UISplitViewController *)svc willShowViewController:(UIViewController *)aViewController invalidatingBarButtonItem:(UIBarButtonItem *)barButtonItem{ NSlog(@"landscape");}

this always works on load.
