SpringBoard (Class)

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.

You can also hook SpringBoard's -(void)noteInterfaceOrientationChanged:(int)arg1 duration:(float)arg2

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].
