Change Keyboard Orientation Without Flip The iOS device - iphone

I want to make the iOS device in a portrait mode and any keyboard will show in landscape mode. How can I manage such a thing? Thanks in advance.

I would experiment with setting the status bar's orientation. This would require special handling to assure that your views won't rotate, but the keyboard, popovers, action sheets, etc. all take the orientation of the application's status bar. Set the status bar's orientation like so:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarOrientation:newOrientation]

iPhone App on iPad not responding to touch at first start

If my iPhone App (not universal) starts in landscape mode on my iPad (3rd gen) it does not respond to any touch until I either press the 1x/2x Button or change the orientation. After that it works as normal.
If I start it on my iPhone 5 in landscape mode, it works like a charm.
shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation gives a YES in every View, so I think that's not the problem here.
The first View is a tabbar-view.
I have the same problem too on my iPad mini with iOS6.0.1.
What I do to solve the problem is to set the Supported interface orientations to all off in the info.plist.
Next, add the Supported interface orientations (iPad) in info.plist and only add the Potrait (bottom home button) in it.
It should make no difference to the apps orientation provided that you set it properly in the view controller.
Also, make sure you set a correct initial interface orientation.
It then solves my problem.
The above answers are a bit difficult, especially when using Xamarin. This answer does work:
from another question:
iphone app doesn't respond after starting in landscape orientation on iPad
The comment of Daniel Sandland did solve it for me:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationNone];
in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions,
(the C# variant for Xamarin)
I think this can be the problem of positioning of UI controls present on your screen.
The controls might be having auto positioning parameters (in XIB) may have been set in such way that the controls goes out of screen.
Try to correct resizing parameters in XIB.

UIImagePickerController differences from iPhone and iPad woes

I have an app designed for iPhone that makes use of the UIImagePickerController.
The app run in landscape only up until the image picker comes into view in its default portrait.
Problem 1:
On the iPhone when I rotate the device to portrait to view the image library the image picker view seems to do a flip as if rotating from landscape to portrait?
Problem 2:
I get the dreaded warning Using two-stage rotation animation. To use the smoother single-stage animation, this application must remove two-stage method implementations.
Problem 3.
on the iPad when selecting an image the image picker is dismissed and the view is back in landscape but ...... if I then do anything that requires alert view or the keyboard they appear as if the device is in portrait? This does not happen on the iPhone???
I know problem 2 is a long running issue but please can anyone help with problems 1 & 3?
Thanks
number 3 resolved :-)
"The keyboard will show up in the orientation of the statusbar, which doesn't always change with rotations for some reason. So if you want to display that view only in landscape set [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation = UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft; or whichever orientation you want to prefer in your viewWillAppear method."

iphone - programmatically rotate system keyboard to landscape when device is in portrait orientation

I would like to do this because the keyboard buttons are slightly bigger in landscape mode than portrait and I will have older users using my app.
Does anybody know a way to do it??
Thanks.

Portrait Orientation is losing touch input

I'm making a universal apps with auto rotation, and I'm only using landscape left and right. When I rotate the iPhone to the portrait down position, I can see what looks like a window underneath the app rotating and I no longer get touch events.
In all the shouldAutoRotate functions I'm making sure only return true for landscape, and the info.plist only allows landscape left and right.
Sounds like your view is not correctly resizing after an orientation change. Easy way to check this is to set the background color to something non-white.

UIDEVICE orientation

hello all i have my splash screen which i want to show in landscape mode and all other screen in potrait mode. My root view controller is acting as a splash screen i am writing this code in viewdidload method
[[UIDevice currentDevice] setOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight];
But this code is not working and shows me that UIdevice may not respond to setorentation please guide me that how could i change the orentation for only first splash screen and also other screen should be in potrait mode
UIDeviceOrientation refers to the physical orientation of the device whereas UIInterfaceOrientation refers to the orientation of the user interface. You can't change the physical orientation of the device, but you can change how the status bar is displayed via [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation
Can't you just have a splash screen that is displayed sideways?
The user will interpret that as a "landscape" splash and adjust accordingly, whether or not your application actually thinks it is. Just make sure to return NO in shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: so it doesn't rotate away when the user turns it.
But a warning: it's probably worthwhile to tweak your splash screen so it is in the portrait orientation, since it may be annoying to suggest to the user that your app likes landscape, and then switch to portrait as soon as it actually starts.
If you really want to, though, you can use setStatusBarOrientation:animated: on the UIApplication to force the orientation.
