You can use [[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarOrientation] to detect device orientation.

This method returns orientation value for all cases but if you use

[[UIDevice currentDevice]orientation]

sometimes you get unknown orientation.

I hope that works for you.

you can use below code:

if (UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape([[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation]))
{
     NSLog(@"-Landscape");
}
 else 
{
     NSLog(@"-Portrait");
}
