iPad orientation not being returned correctly

I'm basically running this code:

UIInterfaceOrientation statusBarOrientation = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarOrientation];

if(statusBarOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait){
     NSLog(@"orientation is portrait");
}

However, regardless of the actual orientation in the simulator or my iPad, it is printing "orientation is portrait". Trying to NSLog the statusBarOrientation as a %d also returns 1 no matter what the orientation.

I've stuck this is my app delegate, my view controller, and the class that I need it in, and its the same thing. All 4 device orientations are supported in my info.plist / target settings.

Does anyone have a sure fire way of figuring out the interface orientation, or why mine is not working? Thanks

if you dont like to used Notification for orientation.. Then use below method too.

this is example of Only Landscape Orientation in iPad and Portrait in iPhone...

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
    // Return YES for supported orientations
    if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad) 
    {
        if(interfaceOrientation==UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft ||  
         interfaceOrientation==UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft)
            return YES;
        else
            return NO;
    }
    else
    {
        return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
    }
}

You can REGISTER FOR notifications on orientation changes:

[[UIDevice currentDevice] beginGeneratingDeviceOrientationNotifications];   
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                            selector:@selector(didRotate:)
                            name:@"UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification" 
                            object:nil];

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

if ((orientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft || orientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeRight)) {
         // DO STUFF
}
else if (orientation == UIDeviceOrientationPortrait) {
          //DO MORE STUFF 
}

}

Currently you are returning the orientation of the status bar. Instead get the orientation of the device: [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation]
