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

My current way of doing this:

+ (BOOL)isPortrait {
    let window = UIApplication.sharedApplication.delegate.window;
    if(window.rootViewController) {
        let orientation =
        window.rootViewController.interfaceOrientation;
        return UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait(orientation);
    } else {
        let orientation =
        UIApplication.sharedApplication.statusBarOrientation;
        return UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait(orientation);
    }
}

If there is for some reason no rootViewController yet fail safe to statusBarOrientation...
