How Do I detect the orientation of the device on iOS?

Question

I have a question on how to detect the device orientation on iOS. I don\'t need to receive change notifications, just the current orientation itself. This seems to be a rath

Answer 1

Here is some Swift variables to make detection easier:

let LANDSCAPE_RIGHT: Bool = UIDevice.currentDevice().orientation == UIDeviceOrientation.LandscapeRight
let LANDSCAPE_LEFT: Bool = UIDevice.currentDevice().orientation == UIDeviceOrientation.LandscapeLeft
let LANDSCAPE: Bool = LANDSCAPE_LEFT || LANDSCAPE_RIGHT
let PORTRAIT_NORMAL: Bool = UIDevice.currentDevice().orientation == UIDeviceOrientation.Portrait
let PORTRAIT_REVERSE: Bool = UIDevice.currentDevice().orientation == UIDeviceOrientation.PortraitUpsideDown
let PORTRAIT: Bool = PORTRAIT_REVERSE || PORTRAIT_NORMAL
