How to get iPhones current orientation?

Question

Is there a special method to get iPhones orientation? I don\'t need it in degrees or radians, I want it to return an UIInterfaceOrientation object. I just need it for an if-else

Answer 1

Here is a snippet of code I hade to write because I was getting wierd issues coming back into my root view when the orientation was changed .... I you see just call out the method that should have been called but did seem to be .... this works great no errors

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];

    if ([[UIDevice currentDevice]orientation] == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft){
        //do something or rather
        [self 
shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft];
        NSLog(@"landscape left");
    }
    if ([[UIDevice currentDevice]orientation] == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight){
        //do something or rather
        [self 
shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight];
        NSLog(@"landscape right");
    }
    if ([[UIDevice currentDevice]orientation] == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait){
        //do something or rather
        [self shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait];
        NSLog(@"portrait");
    }
}
