Question

I am trying to lay out some subviews in viewDidLoad by taking into account the orientation,
Here’s my code. The NSLog is never executed. Please help.

-(void) viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];


    if ( UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait([UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation)) {

    }

    if ( UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape([UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation)) {

        NSLog(@"This is landscape");

    }
}

Answer 1

I think that’s because a view is always loaded in portrait.

EDIT: Try:

- (void)didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)fromInterfaceOrientation
{
    // Your code...
}
