iOS Detecting device rotation

[rand0m3r]

right now i'm doing this:

UIDevice myDevice = [UIDevice currentDevice];
[myDevice beginGeneratingDeviceOrientationNotifications];
UIDeviceOrientation currentOrientation = [myDevice orientation];

but it doesn't detect an iphone that is rotated (in the simulator)? how do i actually pick up the notifcations?

There is a ton of sample code for iPhone that covers all of this fundamental stuff.

Try looking in the iPhone dev site. The sample code are complete working solutions covering various topics so you don't have to ask a forum on a Mac rumors web site.

i've looked and it doesn't work, which is why i'm here fool.

I've just tested on beta 5 and the notification definitely is generated in the simulator.

Here's my code. Out of interested, I added this to the WhichWayUp sample so I could see the crate turning (which will help you test it on real hardware).

- (void) didRotate:(NSNotification *)notification
{	
   UIDeviceOrientation orientation = [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation];

   if (orientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft)
   {
       NSLog(@"Landscape Left!");
   }
}

- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {

   [window addSubview:crateViewController.view];
	
   [[UIDevice currentDevice] beginGeneratingDeviceOrientationNotifications];
	
   [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
      selector:@selector(didRotate:)
      name:@"UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification" object:nil];
}

That is in the AppDelegate class. Let us know how you get on!

P.S. I don't think the samples cover using the notification (WhichWayUp seems to use some built-in UIView magic - the rotation appears to happen automatically in the View).

When you come to a forum to ask for help, you might want to think about being polite to people who are trying to help you and not be such a cock.

Minor change

There is already a predefined constant for the device orientation notification, which you should use in place of the literal string in case Apple decides to change it in the future.

   [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
      selector:@selector(didRotate:)
      name:[B]UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification[/B] object:nil];
}

   [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
      selector:@selector(didRotate:)
      name:[B][COLOR="Red"]@"UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification"[/COLOR][/B] object:nil];
}

You need to set the autoResizeMask so that the view is resized correctly when its superview is resized. Set flexibleWidth and flexibleHeight for the view.

As the shouldrotate.. method is not called so we have written in loadview method but no effect (.
Please help
