Depending on what orientation the iPad is in, I need to either set the table view's background or remove it because it doesn't work with the popover.
I tried this but no luck:
if( [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft ){
self.navigationController.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"background.png"]];
self.tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
NSLog(#"test");
Maybe there is a better way? To see if table is master or popover, then set background?

Answer 1

There are several ways to achieve what you want, more or less:
UIInterfaceOrientation orientation = [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation];
A more hack-ish method would be to check the width of the status bar.
If you go with option 1, then you can check the orientation like so:
switch (orientation) {
case UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait:
// Do something.
break;
case UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown:
// Do something.
break;
case UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft:
// Do something.
break;
case UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight:
// Do something.
break;
}
EDIT: To get your application to automatically rotate, you can do this:
- (BOOL)willAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
if ((interfaceOrientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeRight)) NSLog(#"Right");
if ((interfaceOrientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft)) NSLog(#"Left");
if ((interfaceOrientation == UIDeviceOrientationPortrait)) NSLog(#"Up");
if ((interfaceOrientation == UIDeviceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown)) NSLog(#"Down");
return YES;
}

Answer 2

UIInterfaceOrientation orientation = [UIDevice currentDevice].orientation;
