How to subscribe self on the event of Device Orien

Question

in my app i want to call some method in CCScene myscene in the case of device rotation(orientation change).I disabled the autorotation(because i want it not to happen).

The issue is: i want to change gravity in the scene depending on my device orientation. My code :

-(void) onEnter
{
    [super onEnter];
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(notification_OrientationWillChange:) name:UIApplicationWillChangeStatusBarOrientationNotification object:nil];
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(notification_OrientationDidChange:) name:UIApplicationDidChangeStatusBarOrientationNotification object:nil];
}
-(void) onExit
{
    //[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:UIApplicationWillChangeStatusBarOrientationNotification object:nil];
    //[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:UIApplicationDidChangeStatusBarOrientationNotification object:nil];
}
-(void)notification_OrientationWillChange:(NSNotification*)n
{
    orientation = (UIInterfaceOrientation)[[n.userInfo objectForKey:UIApplicationStatusBarOrientationUserInfoKey] intValue];
}
-(void)notification_OrientationDidChange:(NSNotification*)n
{
    if (orientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft) {
        b2Vec2 gravity( 0, -10);
        world->SetGravity(gravity);
    }
    if (orientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight) {
        b2Vec2 gravity( 0, 10);
        world->SetGravity(gravity);
    }
}

But in this case i can get notifications only in the case of autorotation enabled.(if it disabled, device is actually don't change it status bar orientation) Can you help me?

Answer 1

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                         selector:@selector(orientationChanged:)
                                             name:@"UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification" 
                                           object:nil];



- (void)orientationChanged:(NSNotification *)notification{  
    UIDeviceOrientation orientation = [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation];

    //do stuff
    NSLog(@"Orientation changed");          
}

You must check for Device orientation not status bar.

typedef enum {
        UIDeviceOrientationUnknown,
        UIDeviceOrientationPortrait,            // Device oriented vertically, home button on the bottom
        UIDeviceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown,  // Device oriented vertically, home button on the top
        UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft,       // Device oriented horizontally, home button on the right
        UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeRight,      // Device oriented horizontally, home button on the left
        UIDeviceOrientationFaceUp,              // Device oriented flat, face up
        UIDeviceOrientationFaceDown             // Device oriented flat, face down
    } UIDeviceOrientation;
