How to get current orientation of device programmatically in iOS 6?

Question

I have developed an iOS App and tested it on iOS6 device. While testing, I realized that my App is not responding to Orientation changes as expected.

Here is my Code

In your ViewController, you can use didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation: method to detect when the device has been rotated and then do whatever you need in every orientation.

Example:

#pragma mark - Rotation

-(void)didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)fromInterfaceOrientation
{
    UIDeviceOrientation orientation = [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation];
    switch (orientation) {
        case 1:
        case 2:
            NSLog(@"portrait");
            // your code for portrait...
            break;

        case 3:
        case 4:
            NSLog(@"landscape");
            // your code for landscape...
            break;
        default:
            NSLog(@"other");
            // your code for face down or face up...
            break;
    }
}
