How to detect device rotation in SwiftUI and re-draw view components?
I have a @State variable initialized to the value of UIScreen.main.bounds.width when the first
If someone is also interested in the initial device orientation. I did it as follows:
Device.swift
import Combine
final class Device: ObservableObject {
@Published var isLandscape: Bool = false
}
SceneDelegate.swift
class SceneDelegate: UIResponder, UIWindowSceneDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
// created instance
let device = Device() // changed here
func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) {
// ...
// added the instance as environment object here
let contentView = ContentView().environment(\.managedObjectContext, context).environmentObject(device)
if let windowScene = scene as? UIWindowScene {
// read the initial device orientation here
device.isLandscape = (windowScene.interfaceOrientation.isLandscape == true)
// ...
}
}
// added this function to register when the device is rotated
func windowScene(_ windowScene: UIWindowScene, didUpdate previousCoordinateSpace: UICoordinateSpace, interfaceOrientation previousInterfaceOrientation: UIInterfaceOrientation, traitCollection previousTraitCollection: UITraitCollection) {
device.isLandscape.toggle()
}
// ...
}
