UIScrollView Rotation

Question

I have a scrollview that automatically generates a series of subviews containing imageviews. The concept is that it's pretty much a custom PDF style reader, where each page is loaded in to an imageview as an image. There are three "layers" - the outer UIScrollView, the automatically generated subViews and the imageview inside the subview.

My dilemma is that as these subviews are generated they don't really have a hard reference, so in my didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation there's no way to say resize THIS particular view.

I have created a function called setUpView which initialises all the views and images as so:

- (void)setUpView {
    //INITIALISE PAGING SCROLL VIEW
    CGRect pagingScrollViewFrame = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];
    pagingScrollViewFrame.origin.x -= 10;
    pagingScrollViewFrame.size.width += 20;
    pagingScrollView = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:pagingScrollViewFrame];

    //CONFIGURE PAGING SCROLL VIEW  
    pagingScrollView.pagingEnabled = YES;
    pagingScrollView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
    pagingScrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(pagingScrollViewFrame.size.width*7, pagingScrollViewFrame.size.height);

    //ACTIVATE PAGING SCROLL VIEW
    self.view = pagingScrollView;

    //ADD PAGES TO SCROLL VIEW
    for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++){
        ImageScrollView *page = [[[ImageScrollView alloc] init] autorelease];
        [self configurePage:page forIndex:i];
        [pagingScrollView addSubview:page];
    }
}

In my loadView method I just call this function.

Is there any way to detect the current orientation of the device so that may be fed into the above function somehow? At the moment, on rotate, the outerview rotates fine, but the inner sub-views and the imageviews do not.

You can get device orientation by looking at:

[UIDevice currentDevice].orientation

or you could use self.interfaceOrientation for viewController.
