This article is about the Objective-C class. For the application, see SpringBoard.app.
SpringBoard is the singleton class that manages the SpringBoard application.
Monitoring Orientation of Top App
Whenever the orientation of the top application is changed, -[SpringBoard noteUIOrientationChanged:display:] is called. Therefore, you can hook this method to be notified of the event.
Sending messages to SpringBoard
Because SpringBoard inherits from UIApplication, you can send messages to it as follows: [[SpringBoard sharedApplication] aMethod]
Getting the top SBApplication
A reference to the top SBApplication may be obtained by using the following method: [[SpringBoard sharedApplication] _accessibilityFrontMostApplication].
