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 construction like

if(currentOrientation==UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait ||currentOrientation==UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown) { //Code }   if (currentOrientation==UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight ||currentOrientation==UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft ) { //Code } 

Thanks in advance!

This is most likely what you want:

UIInterfaceOrientation interfaceOrientation = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarOrientation]; 

You can then use system macros like:

if (UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait(interfaceOrientation)) {  } 

If you want the device orientation use:

UIDeviceOrientation deviceOrientation = [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation]; 

This includes enumerations like UIDeviceOrientationFaceUp and UIDeviceOrientationFaceDown
