Questions tagged [uiinterfaceorientation]

The orientation of the application's user interface in Apple OS.

There are four available positions

  • UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait
  • UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown
  • UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft
  • UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight

You use these constants in the statusBarOrientation property and the setStatusBarOrientation:animated: method. Notice that UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeRight is assigned to UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft and UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft is assigned to UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight; the reason for this is that rotating the device requires rotating the content in the opposite direction.
