iPad frame width and height mixup in landscape

Question

I have done what this question said here: Landscape Mode ONLY for iPhone or iPad

but the view.frame.size.height is still 1024, which is the height when the device is in

Answer 1

You haven't specified which "view" you're querying. Assuming this is the top level subview of the window:

You should query the view's bounds not its frame. frame is in the coordinate in which the view is defined (the outside world) hence may remain constant as you rotate. bounds is the coordinate used "inside" the view and for its subviews. This does change when you rotate.

Answer 2

+ (int) currentWidth
{
 UIScreen *screen = [UIScreen mainScreen];
 int width = screen.currentMode.size.width;
 int height = screen.currentMode.size.height;
 return (UIDeviceOrientationIsLandscape([[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarOrientation]))? MAX (width, height) : MIN (width, height);
}

I spent a while trying to work out the simplest solution to a frustrating problem, and this was the best I could come up with. Hope it can help.
