I have the following code in a method. When I run this in the simulator the debugger skips right over the code?? What am I missing?
if (([[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation] == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft) ||
([[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation] == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeRight))
{
} else {
}
Update 2
This shouldn't matter, but try turning on orientation notifications:
[[UIDevice currentDevice] beginGeneratingDeviceOrientationNotifications];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(detectOrientation) name:@"UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification" object:nil];
Update
My bad, I assumed it was empty.
Try removing the or statement and just test for a single orientation. See if that fixes it. Maybe there is a bracket problem or something silly.
I have the following test working in production code, so your technique should work:
if (([[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation] == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft) ||
([[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation] == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeRight)) {
}
Original Answer
You have to actually put statements in the if blocks to get it to step in.
The debugger is smart enough to skip over empty blocks.
Heh you need to call [[UIDevice currentDevice] beginGeneratingDeviceOrientationNotifications]
before obtaining the value. Have a look at documentation of this method. Took me a while to track this down.
