How can I do this ?

There's tons of posts on this as a simple search on "iPhone Check Orientation" will reveal. Please try to search first before posting. — Max MacLeod, Sep 16 '11 at 09:44

UIView Doesn't have orientation property.

You can check the current device orientation wherever you want using this:

    UIInterfaceOrientation  orientation = [UIDevice currentDevice].orientation;
    if (orientation == UIDeviceOrientationPortrait || orientation == UIDeviceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown) {
        //portrait
    }
    else {
        //landscape
    }

Its not UIInterfaceOrientation. its UIDeviceOrientation. And that will not check for landscape or portrait mode. :( – Devang Sep 16 '11 at 09:48

UIView doesn't have orientation property. You can check UIDevice or UIApplicationStatusBar orientation

Implement the UIAccelerometerDelegate (I'm assuming that you have subClassed UIView) in your class as @interface YourView : UIView<UIAccelerometerDelegate> and then in the -(void)accelerometer:(UIAccelerometer *)accelerometer didAccelerate:(UIAcceleration *)acceleration method, check what is the value of acceleration.x. If it is close to 1 or -1 then the device is held up in landscape left/right. Make the same check on acceleration.y to determine portrait orientation
