MBProgressHud is not changing with device orientation.? - iphone

Question

I am using MBProgressHud to show a loading indicator on a splash view but this does not change with device orientation. My code is:
splashView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:self.window.frame];
if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad)
{
splashView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"DefaultPad.png"];
}
else
{
splashView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"Default.png"];
}
hud = [[MBProgressHUD alloc]initWithView:splashView];
[splashView addSubview:hud];
hud.userInteractionEnabled=NO;
hud.labelText = #"Loading...";
[hud show:YES];
[self.window addSubview:splashView];
[self performSelector:#selector(Load_FirstView) withObject:nil afterDelay:3];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
and I have changed the line in MBProgressHud.m file from
- (void)deviceOrientationDidChange:(NSNotification *)notification {
NSLog(#"in device orientation ");
UIView *superview = self.superview;
if (!superview) {
return;
} else if ([superview isKindOfClass:[UIWindow class]]) { // here changes have done
[self setTransformForCurrentOrientation:YES];
} else {
self.bounds = self.superview.bounds;
[self setNeedsDisplay];
}
}
to:
- (void)deviceOrientationDidChange:(NSNotification *)notification {
NSLog(#"in device orientation ");
UIView *superview = self.superview;
if (!superview) {
return;
} else if ([superview isKindOfClass:[UIImageView class]]) {
[self setTransformForCurrentOrientation:YES];
} else {
self.bounds = self.superview.bounds;
[self setNeedsDisplay];
}
}
How can I get the loading indicator to rotate with device orientation?

Answer 1

In MBProgressHUD.m I changed
UIInterfaceOrientation orientation = [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation;
to
UIInterfaceOrientation orientation = [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation];
The orientation notification had been received, but the statusBar had not rotated yet.

Answer 2

Try This:-
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
if(interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait || interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown)
{
//code for portrait
[hud release];
hud = [[MBProgressHUD alloc]initWithView:splashView];
}
else
{
//code for Landscape
[hud release];
hud = [[MBProgressHUD alloc]initWithView:splashView];
}
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight ||
interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait ||
interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft ||
interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown);
}
if it does not work..
you can change the UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification with UIApplicationDidChangeStatusBarOrientationNotificationin the source code of MBProgressHUD:-
- (id)initWithView:(UIView *)view {
// Let's check if the view is nil (this is a common error when using the windw initializer above)
if (!view) {
[NSException raise:#"MBProgressHUDViewIsNillException"
format:#"The view used in the MBProgressHUD initializer is nil."];
}
id me = [self initWithFrame:view.bounds];
// We need to take care of rotation ourselfs if we're adding the HUD to a window
if ([view isKindOfClass:[UIWindow class]]) {
[self setTransformForCurrentOrientation:NO];
}
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(deviceOrientationDidChange:)
name:UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification object:nil];
return me;
}
In the above code change UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotificationwith UIApplicationDidChangeStatusBarOrientationNotification.
It is just a work-around as rotation issue was always there with MBProgressHud .
I Guess MBProgressHud is giving a lo of problems , you should instead switch to svprogresshud as it handles orientations well
