how do I detect the iPhone orientation before rotating

Question

In my program I\'m moving things based on rotation, but I\'m not rotating the entire view. I\'m Using :

  static UIDeviceOrientation previousOrientation = U         


        

Answer 1

Use this for the orientation of the UI if you need to determine what way are you pointing.

Not 100% sure this is right but going off the top of my head:

[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBar] orientation]
