Swift - How to detect orientation changes
Swift 3 Above code updated:
override func viewWillTransition(to size: CGSize, with coordinator: UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinator) {
super.viewWillTransition(to: size, with: coordinator)
if UIDevice.current.orientation.isLandscape {
print("Landscape")
} else {
print("Portrait")
}
}
Using NotificationCenter and UIDevice's beginGeneratingDeviceOrientationNotifications
Swift 4.2+
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(ViewController.rotated), name: UIDevice.orientationDidChangeNotification, object: nil)
}
deinit {
NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self, name: UIDevice.orientationDidChangeNotification, object: nil)
}
func rotated() {
if UIDevice.current.orientation.isLandscape {
print("Landscape")
} else {
print("Portrait")
}
}
Swift 3
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(ViewController.rotated), name: NSNotification.Name.UIDeviceOrientationDidChange, object: nil)
}
deinit {
NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self)
}
func rotated() {
if UIDevice.current.orientation.isLandscape {
print("Landscape")
} else {
print("Portrait")
}
}
let const = "Background" //image name
let const2 = "GreyBackground" // image name
@IBOutlet weak var imageView: UIImageView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
imageView.image = UIImage(named: const)
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}
override func viewWillTransition(to size: CGSize, with coordinator: UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinator) {
super.viewWillTransition(to: size, with: coordinator)
if UIDevice.current.orientation.isLandscape {
print("Landscape")
imageView.image = UIImage(named: const2)
} else {
print("Portrait")
imageView.image = UIImage(named: const)
}
}
